Saugat Malla

Actor

Saugat Malla built one of Nepali cinema's most recognizable theatre-trained screen identities. He trained through theatre and built his craft across demanding stage performances before making the transition to film. Kagbeni introduced him to cinema, while Loot transformed him into a household name through Haku Kale; later work has ranged from intimate dramas to large commercial ensembles. He remains known for choosing characters that keep his career creatively unpredictable. The response to this work has grown through the connection audiences make with performances and stories that feel recognisably Nepali while still speaking to a wider world. The progression from early work to recent projects reflects a career built with patience, and each new credit adds another layer to the artist's range. Recent work including Mitjyu (2026), Paral Ko Aago (2026), Viral Gorkhey (2026) shows that this career remains active and continues to develop.
