Career
Upreti made his debut with the action thriller Pinjada, released in 2000. In the film, he jumped from the seven-story building of Kantipur Publication in Kathmandu, Nepal, without any protection or body double, which became a huge topic of discussion at the time.[4] Since then, he has starred in some of the highest-grossing movies in Nepalese cinema history like Shiva Shakti, Agnipath, Dhadkan, Papi Manche and its sequel Papi Manchhe 2, Abhimanyu, Hami Tin Bhai, Nikhil Dai, Savdhan, and Dag"samjhana""arabpati.[5][6] His movies Papi Manchhe and Hami Tin Bhai have also held the record of being the highest-grossing movies in Nepali cinema history; the latter also won him the National Film Award for Best Actor. After a 5–6 year absence from Nepali film,[7] he made a comeback to the Nepalese film industry with 'Bhairav' in 2015, which went on to become one of the highest-grossing Nepali films of the year. He was also awarded the Rastriya Nagarik Swarna Samman in 2006.[5][6]
