Pradeep Khadka will play the titular role of Dipendra in the movie.

She attended Welham Girl's High School, Dehradun, Mayo College Girls School, Ajmer; Lady Shriram College, Delhi and Kathmandu University (MA).

Reports of Crown Prince Dipendra wanting to marry her
Dipendra was in England between 1987 and 1990, and his local guardian was Baronet, Sir Jeremy Bagge,[5] whose son was also at Eton. Bagge's daughter was a friend of Devyani who was also studying in England.[6] Dipendra and Devyani met at the Bagges' Norfolk home, and Dipendra quickly fell in love with her and asked her to marry him. However, Dipendra's parents, and especially his mother Aishwarya Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah (born Rana), opposed the marriage. Devyani's friends also began to suspect Dipendra was sexually assaulting her, although she denied it.[6][7]

According to an article in the 30 July 2001 New Yorker and other published reports, the refusal of Dipendra's parents to consent to this marriage was the cause of the massacre of the royal family in Nepal.[citation needed] However a 2009 report based on an interview with his cousin Paras Shah suggested that there may have been other reasons as well.[8] A book "Maile Dekheko Darbar" by former Secretary to the King Birendra suggests that Dipendra may have had significant personality problems.[9]

Post massacre
Devyani Rana fled to India immediately after the royal massacre to escape media attention. In 2004, Rana obtained a second master's degree from the London School of Economics. She was reported to have been working for the United Nations Development Programme in India in 2012.[10]

Personal life
On 23 February 2007, Rana married Kunwar Aishwarya Singh of Singrauli, the son of Raja Bhuvneshwar Prasad Singh and Rani Veena Singh, a royal from the erstwhile state of Singrauli and the grandson of former Indian Human Resources Minister Arjun Singh, a royal from the erstwhile state of Churhat.[11] The wedding took place at the Scindia Villa, New Delhi.[12]

In 2017, it has was reported that Devyani Rana had become an active member of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal (RPP-N).[1
