Kathmandu. Actor Rajesh Hamal’s comeback seems to be slow. After a long break of about 8 years, Rajesh made a comeback to the big screen with the film ‘Narasimha: Avatar’ in 2002. This film was released last month.

His next film after his comeback, ‘Pravasi Jeevan’, was released on February 15. The film has been released in theaters less than a week after its release. That is, ‘Pravasi Jeevan’ performed very poorly at the box office. The comeback film ‘Narasimha: Avatar’ is also a flop at the box office. Its gross collection is around three crores.

Rajesh didn’t just take an 8-year break. He came to the idea of ​​taking a break after his films continuously flopped.

During this break, he was also offered a film. However, he refused to act. He kept saying, ‘I am looking for a good script.’ During this break, Rajesh had also said that he would come in for direction. However, he did not dare to take up directing. He returned to acting in films.

Even after reaching the age of about 6 and a half decades, Rajesh returned to the big screen as a lead hero. He had on-screen romances with heroines who are currently in the news.

Even though Rajesh’s contemporary heroes have become character artists, he has maintained himself as a lead hero.

However, Rajesh’s films, which have spent 8 years searching for good scripts, have flopped at the box office. That too badly. In other words, he could not avoid the criticism that ‘the comeback was not fast’.

Rajesh’s films after 2010 have not been commercially successful. That is why he took a break 8 years ago. He made a comeback in 2025 and another film in 2026. The two films after the comeback were flops. Rajesh is the hero of all three – who used to sell his head on posters when he was in prime.

That is, if his face was put on the poster, the films would be commercially successful. His stardom was so great. Rajesh was the choice of all the producers. Even if he did not have time, the makers would compete to put him on the poster by making guest appearances

Some producers have even spoken about Rajesh’s stardom. His colleagues are eyewitnesses to the fact that the producers pressured Rajesh to put his face on the poster. However, times have changed now. Rajesh’s films have stopped running in the theatres.
