By A Staff Reporter,Kathmandu, Mar. 11: Actor Pradeep Khadka is portraying the character of ‘Mait Bahadur’ in ‘Pujar Sarki’, which is currently being shot in Kaskikot of Kaski district. 

Director Dinesh Raut released two photos of Khadka’s character in the film on Sunday, on the occasion of actor Khadka’s birthday.

 In the images, Khadka sports long hair, wears a black ‘Topi’ (hat) and is shown playing the main instrument ‘Damaha’ used in Panchebaja.
