Loot showcased his acting process.
Saugat Malla was interested in acting, theater and films
from an early age. He learnt acting from Aarohan Gurukul where he acted in
plays like Oedipus Rex and Agni Ko Katha.He made his debut in Nepali cinema
with Kagbeni in 2008, which was directed by Bhusan Dahal. He had to wait for
four years before finally being signed in Nischal Basnet's Loot, which brought
him into the limelight. He came to be identified as Haku Kale, a character he
played in the film.
Known more by his character name Haku Kale from his hit
movie Loot, Saugat Malla is the successful next generation Nepali theatre and
cinema actor who was born in 21st June 1976 in Parasi Bazar of Nawalparasi.
Saugat Malla learnt acting from Aarohan Gurukul where he displayed his
brilliance in acting in Plays like Oedipus Rex and Agni Ko Katha.
He is mostly known for his real life acting in contrast
to the copycat larger than life style from Bollywood which is why his fans can
relate themselves to his acting. The contemporary dialogues delivered in
typical Newari tone made him stand out in the crowd of actors. The catchphrase
Bal Haina Pasa Dimag Laga (Use not force but your mind my friend) from Haku is
still popular among Nepalese teenagers.
It is surprising to notice how perfectly he manages to
execute his dialogue in Newari tone even when he was not a Newar but a Thakuri
by ethnicity. Although Kale was the brainchild of Nischal Basnet, it was Saugat
who gave more depth to this character by suggesting a Newari name Haku and
developing the character to its full potential.
Saugat was obsessed with the world of cinema since the
third grade.ince then, he has followed his dream and the thought of
choosing other career never occurred to him although his parents wanted him to
choose other alternative. He has a very reserved character. So, it takes time
for him to open up with anyone. He does not like to waste time in social gossip
and he is forever thinking about new characters. He likes to experiment with
his characters. He is very choosy about the movie that he plays. So, his movies
are different from the main stream Kollywood Cinema.
