Xi Ko Ghar', 'Bato' and 'Mummy' - though the plot is different, all the three films have one thing in common - horror. The 'Gothic' element is the strong point of all the three films. The trailer of the film 'Mummy' directed by Samar Niraula, which is in the middle of the screening, was released only on Tuesday. In the trailer, the characters are haunted by the terror of an unseen force. 'Bato', directed by Madan Thapa, also deals with the horrors associated with travel.

In 'Boksi Ko Ghar', the narrative against the stereotypes of the society is dark and scary. The connection character of these three films is Sulakshan Bharti. Sulakshan is the director of 'Boksi Ko Ghar'. And the actor of 'Bato' and 'Mummy'. Was it a coincidence or an interest for Sulakshan to play films of the same nature in the same year?

He believes, 'This is destiny.' He does not want to work in 'horror' or 'dark' films. The interest is in the characters and the story. In that too I like to work in different characters. Variety of characters is my passion,” he says.

This year another coincidence happened in the case of Sulakshan. He made a strong debut as a director with 'Boksi Ko Ghar'. Also, a debut director chose a debut director as an actor as well. This year, Madan debuted in the film industry with 'Bato' and Samar with 'Mummy'. He shared with them the difficult paths he walked as a director. "To avoid embarrassing myself," he says.

He also has to do the work with the new rather than the old. "The new ones are updated, transparent and energetic," he says about the reason, "I can learn a lot from them too." But he doesn't get the same thing from the old makers as he gets from the new ones. The old one needs face value. People who work for new ones,'' he compares.

That's why Sulakshan keeps searching for the new generation of eccentric directors. Madan also proved that the film dance is good on the way. Samar is doing it from mummy,” he says. Along with the offer of

'Mummy', Sulakshan got an offer from a big banner commercial film. The salary is also four times more than 'mummy'. He did not covet a fat salary. Instead, greed did in the story and characters. And chose 'Mummy'. Mummy's character was going through a very complex psychology. I met such a character for the first time. And I chose the film,' says Sulakshan.

Money is needed to survive. But Sulakshan has a promise not to compromise on art for money. He thinks that the money will come. But good jobs and offers don't come often.'' That's why I didn't take more than the working amount in Mummy. I liked the story and helped," he says.

The character of 'Mummy' played by Sulakshan should be watched carefully. "This character is hidden in the society," he says, "that character does not come forward openly." The society's view of them is also different.' He also shares the joy of living the life of that character. Remembering those moments when he immersed himself in the character, he says, 'It was a different feeling for me.' Along with the challenge. Regarding the experience of 'Witch's House', he says, 'It is difficult to put the vision that I have as a director on the screen. The budget will make sense in this.' The challenge seen as an artist is different. Because the coming stories are not new. Even working on a repetitive character is not satisfying.

The challenge Sulakshan is facing right now is work. I don't get many film offers like other actors. It is difficult to choose from those who have come,” he says. Many directors/producers called and congratulated him when a film came out in which he acted but did not give him work. His complaint is the same. "Why didn't those who gave congratulations and praises give work?" he asked. He is tired of waiting for good deeds and not reaching his hands. At that time, it seems, 'You get offers by knowing people better than by knowing the work.' Not only as a

actor, he is surprised that even after his film was a hit at the box office, he was not offered any good films. Some come with their own divorce stories. They say, 'We had to make a film on it.' Some say that we had to make a film like 'Boksi Ko Ghar'. Some call abroad by showing a large sum of money. Those who come, those who do not take the film seriously, come. Serious producers don't come to him. I have 14 scripts myself. That too of a different genre. No one comes looking for a story,” he says.

is also new to the film world for Sulakshan, who has spent almost a decade and a half in 'Band Kotha'. He started acting at the age of 14 and had an appetite for acting. That hunger went through modeling and into theater. There are many stories about the 'old house' that he built. He spent 17 years on stage and directed more than two dozen plays. Dozens acted. He wrote 15 plays. Now he worries about the age of the plays he wrote. They will disappear like this. Without the new generation of documents, these dramas will not survive beyond their lifespan,' he wonders.
