भारतिय सोनि टिभि को उत्पादन रहेको चर्चित टेलिभिजन शो ईण्डियन आईडलको सन् २००७ मा आईडल छनोट भएपछि कोलकाता प्रहरीमा कार्यरत प्रशान्त तामांगको जिवन एकाएक परिवर्तन भयो । उनले आफ्नै एल्बम सहित थुप्रै गीत गाए र सफल पनि भए । अहिले उनि गायकीमा मात्र होईन नायकीमा पानि पोख्त भईसकेका छन् । नेपाली मूलका भारतिय तामांङले तीनवटा नेपाली चलचित्रमा अभिनय गरिसकेका छन् । अघिल्लो बर्षको उत्कृष्ट चलचित्रमध्ये प्रशान्तद्वारा अभिनित तथा नारायण रायमाझिद्वारा निर्देशित 'गोर्खा पल्टन' अग्रणि स्थानमा रह्यो ।
यतिबेला बजारमा फेरी नायक प्रशान्त तामागंको चर्चा छ । उनि अभिनित दुई चलचित्र एकै महिनामा प्रदर्शनमा आउने भएका छन् । 'अँगालो यो मायाको' असार दश र 'किन मायामा' असार सत्र गतेदेखि दर्शकमाझ आउँदैछन् । उनि भरतिय भएपनि कलिउडमानै व्यस्त छन् । नेपाली चलचित्रको सेरोफेरोमा रहेर onlinesansar.com का जिवन पराजुलीसँग गरिएको कुराकानीको संपादित अंश :-
१. कलिउडमा नै धाउनुको कारण ?
कारण केहि छैन । नेपाली चलचित्रमा काम गर्ने मौका पाईयो । अफर आएपछि सकेको कोशिस पनि रह्यो । म कलिउडमा आउनु नराम्रो हो जस्तो लाग्दैन । कलाकारिता जहाँ पनि हुन सक्छ, त्यसो त थुप्रै नेपाली कलाकारहरु बलिउड, हलिउडमा छन् ।
२. बलिउडमा नसकेर कलिउड पसेको भन्छन् नि ?
खासमा म नेपाली मूलको हो । नेपालीको ना
प्रशान्त तामांङ मात्र भनेको राम्रो लाग्छ । मलाई मेरै नामले बोलाएको सम्मान लाग्छ । बिल्ला जोड्नुपर्छ भन्ने छैन ।
३. संगीत छोडेर चलचित्रमा आउनुभएको हो ?
संगीत मेरो सानैदेखिको रुचि थियो । मेहनत गरियो, सफल पनि भईयो । कुनैलाई काखा कुनैलाई पाखा गरेको होइन । जम्मा तीनवटा चलचित्रमा काम गरेँ । ति चलचित्रमा पनि आँफैले गीत गाएको छु । यस अर्थमा पनि म संगीतमा नै छु । म चलचित्रमा हिट हुनुपर्छ भन्ने छैन । यो सुन्न नपरोस। कि गायनबाट चलचित्रमा आएको प्रशान्त असफल भयो ।
४. तपाईँलाइ बोलाउँदा 'ईण्डियल आईडल' भनेको राम्रो लाग्छ की नेपाली 'नायक' ?
प्रशान्त तामांङ मात्र भनेको राम्रो लाग्छ । मलाई मेरै नामले बोलाएको सम्मान लाग्छ । बिल्ला जोड्नुपर्छ भन्ने छैन ।
५. 'अँगालो यो मायाको'ले दिन खोजेको सन्देश ?
यो चलचित्रमा मेरो यथार्थ जिवन भन्दा भिन्न भुमिकामा छु । एउटा कुलतमा फसेको युवकको भुमिका छ । जिन्दगीको चुनैतीहरु नै यसको सन्देश हो ।
६. अन्त्यमा दर्शकलाई केहि भन्नु छ की ?
हिजो जुन ठाँउमा थिएँ, त्यहाँ पनि तपाईँको साथले नै यहाँसम्म आएको हुँ । आज पनि मेरो सबथोक दर्शकहरुनै हो । सकेसम्म यो भन्दापनि राम्रो गर्नेछु । तपाईँको साथ, माया मलाई चाहिन्छ ।

History The making of Nepali films is said to have begun with D. B. Pariyar's Satya Harishchandra, which was the first Nepali language film to be shot. It was produced from Kolkata, India, and was released on September 14, 1951. Aama (meaning mother) was the first film produced in Nepal, and was released on October 7, 1964. It was produced by the Information Department of His Majesty's Government Of Nepal (now Government of Nepal). It was directed by Hira Singh Khatri and the lead actors were Shiva Shankar Manandhar and Bhuwan Thapa, who are regarded as the first actors in the history of the Nepali film industry. The first film to be produced under a private banner was Maitighar (meaning the birth home of a girl), which was released at the end of 1966 by Sumonanjali Films Pvt. Ltd. Although it was a Nepali movie, it had many Indians contributing toward the making of the film. Mala Sinha had the lead role, along with C P Lohani, whom she later married. It had special appearances of Sunil Dutt and comedian Rajendra Nath. Directed by B S Thapa and music scored by Jaidev, a veteran music maestro, it had Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Usha Mangeshkar, and Manna Dey, all of them established Indian singers, doing the playback-singing along with the household names of Nepali music, like Narayan Gopal, Prem Dhoj Pradhan, C P Lohani, and Aruna Lama. Then the government established the Royal Nepal Film Corporation in 1971. Mann Ko Bandh was the first film produced by the Corporation. Prakesh Thapa was the director of the film. Nati Kaji and Shiva Shankar were the music composers of the songs. Amber Gurung scored the background music. The film premiered in 1973 in Kathmandu. Mann Ko Bandh was followed by Kumari (the first Eastman color Nepali film) in 1977, Sindoor in 1980, and Jeevan Rekha in series. The success of these films opened up avenue for private parties to enter into filmmaking as industrial endeavor.
