Kathmandu: The first look poster of the film ‘Actor: Take One’ has been unveiled, featuring the lead actor Pradeep Khadka in five distinct appearances.
The poster displays Pradeep in various get-ups, including an injured look, traditional Nepali attire, a pilot’s uniform, casual wear with long hair, and a sweater-clad look suitable for mild cold weather.
Among these, the image portraying Pradeep with injuries to his head and face takes prominence. In this depiction, he is seen with bandages wrapped around his head, a plastered hand supported by a sling over his shoulder, and leaning on crutches, suggesting he has suffered a major accident or attack. It remains unclear which of these looks holds primary significance in the film’s storyline.
Set to release on Kartik 15, the film stars debutant actress Divya Rayamajhi alongside Pradeep in leading roles.
