At one time, Raj Ballav Koirala was one of the preferred actors in love story films. Being good at acting, he made an attractive career in Nepali films for about 7/8 years. After his first film ‘Parkhi Basen’ was a commercial success, he did not have to face the lack of films. However, despite having a fertile career in Nepali films, he suddenly moved to America and ‘settled’ himself there.
Raj Ballav’s last film was ‘ Chha Ekan Chha’. After this, due to migration to America, he could not do films even if he wanted to. The offer of the film would have reached him. Now he is making a comeback in Nepali films after 10 years from the film ‘Kamino’. Raj Ballav will not come to Nepal for this. His part will be shot in Brazil and North America.
As much as he is excited and eager to return to Nepali films after 10 years, he is also afraid. In a show of actor Wimless Adhikari in America, he said about his comeback, ‘I am returning to Nepali films after 10 years. Leaving the previous work and returning to the same work, there is excitement and enthusiasm, along with fear and the feeling that I have forgotten something.’
While being active in acting for 7 years, he recalled that his daily life was spent in film shootings, media and parties, he said that although he was excited to return to films after a 10-year gap, he also said that he was also nervous about what would happen. However, he consoles himself and says, ‘Once an artist is always an artist, but after years, I wonder what will happen when I return to my old work.’
Raj Ballav says that when he stopped making films, students studying in class 5 have now become bachelors and the thought comes to mind whether he can be among the actors that generation watches or wants. He said that in the last one and a half/two months, he got offers from 5 films and out of them he chose ‘Kamino’. He claims that his character in the film is interesting.
