As of May 2016, he is making his latest film, Buddha Born in Nepal,[9] which is a story of a struggling Nepali student In America.[10] The Nepali student in the film was being taught that Gautama Buddha was born in India.[11] The student knew that this was wrong and changed the course manual by standing up and saying that he knew that the Buddha was born in Nepal.[12]
