Rauniar, who directed the short film 'Chowkathi', makes films on various social issues. His films cover the complex issues of Madhes, women and society.
Rauniar's films, which present such complex aspects of society in a simple manner, are also empowered by political aspects. 'Highway, Seto Surya and Rajaganj were interrelated films, it was a trilogy in particular. Now this trilogy is complete,' Rauniyar said. The impact of the closure on the highway was shown. Similarly, there was a Maoist conflict in White Sun, Madhes movement in Rajaganj.
While telling the story of various characters of the society, director Rauniyar made the film by keeping these aspects in the background. Director Rauniar is currently making a film on master chef Santosh Shah.
