Nepali actor Sunil Thapa, who is also known as ‘Rate Kaila’ in the Nepali film industry, has been awarded the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ at an international film festival held in San Francisco, United States of America (USA).

The festival has been organized by the Federation of Indo Americans in the USA since two decades. The Festival honored Thapa for his outstanding contribution to the film sector.
