He further said, he had established the market for “Kinna Maya Ma” in 7 countries of the world including some Indian states. Along these lines, he wishes to establish a regular market for upcoming films of Sikkim in different countries of the world too.

Even then, my primary concern was looking for Sikkim's old history. The new job was interesting, challenging, and more of an adventure. I never knew what I would do the next day or where I would be.
