Also, this film will be screened at Fcube in Chabahil, CK Cinema in Sitapaila and Midtown Hall in Pokhara.

Meanwhile, on the eve of the release, the Dakini looks of actor Rabindra Singh Baniya have been released. In the film, he will play the role of a transwoman. “This character has been prepared with the intention that transwomen can also be dakinis,” he said.
