Early Life and Background
Das was born on February 21, 2002 [1], in Godaita, Sarlahi District, Nepal [1], to Ram Pukar Das. He developed an interest in visual storytelling during his childhood, experimenting with his father's video camera to capture local events. As a teenager, he began producing short films and music videos for his YouTube channel. He later moved to Kathmandu to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
Career
Early work and music videos
Das entered professional direction at the age of 18. Over the next four years, he directed more than 50 to 70 music videos spanning various genres. He frequently served as a lyricist for his projects, writing tracks such as "Yehi ho Maya", "Timle K Garchhas", "Bhul Bhayo", "Baisa Ko Pyash", and "Naya Itihas".
During this formative period, Das also gained industry experience by working on feature films in technical capacities. He served as the assistant director for the film Bichhed, the Chief Assistant Director for Firefirey Firiri, and the Director of Photography (DOP) for Mahima Gadimai.
Breakthrough with Aarati and Feature Film Debut
In early 2024, Das directed the web series Aarati[13] Written By Hikmat Sharma, produced under the banner of Rays Entertainment. The series, which focused on contemporary social issues, received positive audience reception and established his reputation for handling long-form, socially conscious narratives.
In May 2025, Das announced his transition into mainstream feature cinema with his directorial debut, Pratibairam (प्रतिवैरम्) [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] . Written by Yubaraj Bhattarai, the action-drama film focuses on social and political issues, crime, and friendship within the Madhesh region of Nepal and its borderlines. The film's principal photography was completed over a 45-day schedule, with 15 days of shooting in Sarlahi and 30 days in Siraha. Starring an ensemble cast including Samrat Das, Alisha Bastola, Birendra Singh Kushwaha, and Ramesh Budhathoki, the film's official teaser was released in January 2026.
