CAn achievement for Sikkim\u2019s film industry, \u201cTara\u201d the lost star, a project envisioned by Shyama Shree Sherpa and produced by her company SADA Productions in collaboration with Passang Mintok Films, has made history by becoming the first-ever film from the region to be selected for the prestigious Festival De Cannes. The journey of \u201cTara\u201d began in early 2023 when Mrs. Sabitri Chettri pledged unwavering support to bring the story to the silver screen.

However, Shyama Shree Sherpa\u2019s insistence on excellence led her to Samten Bhutia, a seasoned Writer\/Director from Gangtok (Sikkim).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Bhutia on board as director and screenwriter, the project gained momentum. By mid-2023, a dedicated cast and crew from Sikkim, Darjeeling, and Nepal were assembled, and filming commenced in the picturesque Gnathang & Memenchhu area, spanning approximately a month. The production phase concluded in July 2023, followed by an extensive post-production process involving handpicked professionals and studios in Sikkim and Nepal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
