Priyanka Karki Finally Embraces the Importance of a Script

Renowned Nepali actress Priyanka Karki, who once dominated the film industry for nearly a decade, opens up about her past choices and the evolving landscape of Nepali cinema. Known for her prolific career and numerous collaborations with industry stalwarts, Karki is now shedding light on the importance of script quality over star power.

Despite ruling the industry for several years, Karki’s filmography may not be extensive, but it has left an indelible mark on audiences. Notable among her projects was ‘Suntali,’ a film initially expected to be solely carried on her shoulders. However, controversies arose when accusations surfaced that Karki was unfamiliar with the script until a few years ago, emphasizing her focus on the team rather than her role.

Critics argued that her career suffered due to an overreliance on star-studded teams and lack of scrutiny towards scripts. Once a heroine known for her preference for famous teams and star heroes, Karki now acknowledges the consequences of her earlier choices as she finds herself receiving fewer film offers.

In a recent interview, the actress candidly discussed the dynamics of the Nepali film industry, criticizing makers for prioritizing technical aspects like the choice of cameras over casting decisions. Karki argued that the success of a film ultimately rests on the shoulders of its artists, emphasizing the need for a compelling script to drive a project.

Acknowledging her past mistakes, Karki is now taking a different stance, urging filmmakers to prioritize script quality over other considerations. She reflects on how her career choices could have been different had she insisted on quality scripts earlier in her journey.

In a surprising turn of events, Priyanka Karki is set to venture into film production, aiming to rectify her previous errors. She plans to produce two films, with one being completely action-oriented, where she will take on a leading role. Karki has also committed to undergoing action training in preparation for her new venture.
