The film, which has three songs including one of Abhaya and the Steam Injuns, has already topped the most anticipated movie’s list according to an online poll and is all set to be released on May 24. Mila Productions, the production house of ‘Uma’, has also inked a deal with a New York based NGO, Empower1, who has reserved the rights to screen the film in the United States and Canada. Empower1, according to the press release, is dedicated to the empowerment of underprivileged children in Nepal by means of quality education, building of life skills and a supportive environment for them to grow and flourish.
“‘Uma’ will be released in the US and Canada in June, almost simultaneously, catering to a wider market and I’m hopeful that because of this we will get to invest more in Nepali movies,” said director Sherpa. He hoped that this trend of releasing movies simultaneously all around the world will continue after release of ‘Uma’.
Mila Productions, for the first time in the history of film making and keeping in mind the relevance and importance of online campaigns, is also targeting to release an ibook.
