Rabindra Singh Baniya, the world of light, camera and action began with a street play called ‘Prajatantra’ written and directed by Mohan Niraula. There has been no looking back for him who has captivated the theatre world with his phenomenal acting and directorial skill. Rabindra has recently debuted in a silver screen with ‘Talakjung Vs Tulke’—a new release in Nepali movie brigade. Get this straight—Rabindra is not the serious man that his film ‘Talakjung Vs Tulke’ has portrayed him to be. In person, he is just a guy next door: emotional, sensitive yet strong and stubborn. Moreover, he is a person who is an enduring listener and enjoys a good laugh. If he is serious about anything at all, it is his love for acting. Since his childhood, he has always had a keen interest in watching movies however he never thought of acting as a career option. He would say that he became actor by coincidence. Rabindra came to Kathmandu for his higher education but instead joined Pariwartan Nepal for acting course. Today with more than 20 street dramas performed in more than 200 places around Nepal, Rabindra has successfully carved his name as one of the most recognized face in Nepali theatre industry. Besides, acting, directing and producing movies, little known is that Rabindra also has keen interest in agro-entrepreneurship and has co-founded “Green Gold Farm House”.
