Prashant, who shot to fame after winning the TV show amid raging debates about region-based bulk voting and an unsavoury reference to his ethnicity, hasn’t been heard about much, until now. The 26-year-old from Darjeeling has been camping in Nepal to start a new career in acting with the Nepali film Gurkha Paltan (The Gurkha Brigade).

Prashant, who became a youth icon in Nepal after winning the show, is shooting for the movie in picturesque Palpa district in central Nepal – it is known for its hand-woven cloth and the valiant Gurkha warriors who make their way to the British and Indian armies.

Nepali singer Narayan Rayamajhi is making his debut as a director with Gurkha Paltan, the tale of young Nepali men being forced to join foreign armies for want of opportunities in their own country and the hardship and privation they undergo. While casting for his film, Rayamajhi was looking for actors who would have an army background and he found Prashant – with his police career, he was perfect for the role. Prashant joined the West Bengal police when he was 18 to fend for his mother and sister, after the death of his father. In the film, he plays a fatherless boy who is compelled to join the British Army to take care of his mother and sister. Earlier, Prashant was expected to make his debut with a biopic by Nepali director Dinesh Raj Sharma, but the project is yet to go on the floors.
