KATHMANDU: Playing a 65-year-old father as well as a young son, actor Aaryan Sigdel will be seen in double avatar in his next film. And the film is Homework which has been directed by Nirak Poudel. The film will hit cinema halls on May 20, which was announced at a press meet held at Baajeko Sekuwa, Battisputali, on May 3.

“I had read a news three-and-half years ago about an old man who appeared for SLC examinations. An idea struck me and I was inspired by this idea to make a movie,” director Poudel shared about his inspiration of the film at the press meet.

He took the idea further and Homework was made. “I wanted to show his experience, circumstances and what he would feel while going to school with children,” he added.

At the event, he also clarified the rumours of the film being inspired by any other movies. “It is original,”he claimed.

Sigdel, who plays the character of elderly Hari Krishna Sharma as well as young Aaryaman in the film, expressed, “It would take three to four hours to apply the make-up to transform myself into the old man’s character and again I had to prepare to look like the young man. It was tough job in winter but recalling it now is joyful.”

Other cast include actress Namrata Shrestha, Gauri Malla, and TV personality G P Timilsina.
