Actor Rajesh Hamal has said that he will now move forward in the direction journey. He said that he has come to the idea of going into the direction journey as the perspective, story, presentation style, medium and culture of watching cinema have changed in recent times. ‘If I direct, the story will be original and the presentation will be modern,’ he said, ‘I want to show a different story and character than the one I have acted in.’ Speaking at ‘Nakhichiyako Cinema’ on the third day of the seventh edition of the Karnali Festival being held in Birendranagar, actor Hamal said that although the story of Nepali cinema is the same, the presentation style is changing. ‘There was a time when a new cinema was released, it was like a festival, most of the audience would argue for months about how such a cinema was made,’ he said, ‘Now everyone has a movie in their hands, people are making movies in one way or another, earlier only artists used to act in films, now everyone is acting through TikTok.’ He said that now when you go into a cinema hall, you should act differently from the way a common person acts.
Hamal says that while acting, the actor should immerse himself in the character as much as possible. In earlier cinema, the lifestyle, appearance and lifestyle were portrayed on screen exactly as they were, but now he complained that lifestyle has started to be normalized. ‘In cinema of that time, there was a deep connection between people’s lives and the screen, songs, acting, conflicts all conveyed different messages,’ he said, ‘Now only entertainment has been conveyed, messages are not often found in new films.’
Hamal said that even though he grew up in the city, most of the films were shot in rural settings and characters, so many viewers feel close to him. ‘Many of my films featured characters living ordinary lives, and the names of the films also represented the common Nepali people,’ he said. ‘There are hardly any professions or businesses that I have not acted in. While acting, I am familiar with their lifestyle, speech, language, struggles, and food, which has brought me closer to the audience.’ He says that an important tool for an artist is the ability to see and understand oneself from the perspective of others.’ He said that an artist should do justice to someone’s character while acting. ‘It is important for an artist’s role to give intimacy to the audience, and the character’s feelings and lifestyle should be expressed from the heart,’ he said. ‘When playing a character, the artist also leaves behind a part of his life. The emotion conveyed while acting is what touches the audience.’
