The trailer for the forthcoming sci-fi feature Bijuli Machine has been released. The film has been directed by Navin Awal.

According to director Awal, the film aims to showcase the plights of Nepali commoners who have

been reeling under the acute shortage of fuel. 

“The film presents the story of two friends who are studying science—one, aiming to come up with a new discovery that would solve the fuel shortage, and another, with a unnatural knack for science,” informed director Awal, speaking during the release event in the Capital, “Both the friends are frustrated with the fuel shortage and want to come up with ideas that would solve this conundrum.”

The release event also saw politician Dr Minendra Rijal, who hailed the crew for coming up with an innovative plot. “The subject the film pivots around is relatively new for me,” he said, “I expect it will be a good watch.” Also present at the event was MP Gagan Thapa.

The movie, filmed under the banner of Silauti Entertainment, features actors Abhisek Subedi, Jeevan Adhikari, Relija Shrestha, Buddhi Tamang, Laxmi Bhusal and Kamal Mani Nepal, among others.

Superstar Rajesh Hamal has a cameo in the film. The film is slated to hit the screens on September 16.
