She shares the screen with a talented ensemble cast that includes notable actors such as Dayahang Rai, Miruna Magar, and Srijana Subba. Together, they deliver powerful performances that weave together themes of perseverance, teamwork, and the importance of following one’s dreams, regardless of the obstacles that may arise.
The film not only addresses the significance of sportsmanship but also serves as a platform to raise awareness about gender issues in sports, encouraging young girls to dream big and believe in their potential. Through captivating storytelling and emotional depth, "Anjila" aims to inspire viewers by celebrating the spirit of resilience and the impact of sports in uniting communities. As the audience is drawn into Anjila’s world, they are reminded of the transformative power of pursuing one’s passions and the importance of representation in every field, especially in athletics.
