Manju Kumar Shrestha is a Nepali cinematographer who played an important role in the early technical development of Nepal’s film industry. In 2029 B.S., he joined the Royal Nepal Film Corporation (then known as Shahi Nepali Chalchitra Sansthan).In 2030 B.S., he worked as a film photographer for the corporation’s first production, Man Ko Bandh. At that time, most technical experts in Nepali filmmaking—such as directors, cameramen, and lighting technicians—had to be brought from India due to the lack of local professionals.During the shooting of Man Ko Bandh, the Indian cinematographer fell ill, and Shrestha stepped in to operate the camera himself. Although he carried out much of the filming, he was credited only as an assistant cameraman when the film was released. This experience marked the beginning of his career as a cinematographer.He later went on to shoot many Nepali films, including Kumari, recognized as Nepal’s first color film, and Jeevan Rekha. Over the course of his career, Manju Kumar Shrestha has worked as a cinematographer on more than 70 films, making a significant contribution to the growth and technical progress of Nepali cinema.
