Dhiraj Magar and Miruna Magar Are Sharing the Screen in Kusti, Releasing Asoj 9

Two ofKollywood’smost bankable names starring in Kusti, with a love story that sounds exactly like the kind of film Nepal’s cinema audiences love.

A Pairing Nobody Saw Coming, But Everyone Wanted

Dhiraj Magar andMiruna Magarhave been two of the most consistently watchable actors in Nepali cinema for years, building impressive individual filmographies that have connected deeply with audiences across the country. Miruna in particular has been part of some of Kollywood’s biggest box office moments, from Kabaddi 4: The Final Match to Jaari to Unko Sweater. Dhiraj has built a loyal following of his own through performances that balance charm and emotional depth. Together on screen, the anticipation around Kusti is entirely justified.

Two People Who Cannot Stay Apart, and Cannot Stay Together

Directed and produced by Anil Yonjan, Kusti is aromantic comedy-dramaabout two people who fall in love despite having completely different personalities. They cannot stay apart, yet struggle to stay together. It is a premise as old asromanceitself, but when it is done right, it is the kind of story that fills cinema halls and stays with audiences long after the credits roll. Yonjan has described the film as being fully filled with emotion and humor, a sweet journey of feelings that cannot be separated and yet cannot quite find peace. The supporting cast includes Pushkar Gurung, Lunibha Tuladhar, Buddhi Tamang, Rabindra Jha, and Kiran KC.

A Fresh Face Making Her Big Screen Debut

The film also marks the big screen debut of Deekila Sherpa, a familiar face to many Nepali audiences from her appearance on the Indian reality show Splitsvilla Season 15 and the globally trending Ekdev Limbu music video Jhim Jhimaune Aankha, which has crossed 17 million views on YouTube. Her transition from digital fame to a full theatrical debut in a film of this caliber is a significant step, and the team found her while searching for fresh talent to complement the established leads.

Dashain Season. Big Screen. All the Ingredients.

Kusti is scheduled for release on Asoj 9, September 25, 2026, targeting theDashainseason, one of the most commercially powerful windows in the Kollywood calendar.
