Ashish Kapoor as King Dipendra

Ashish Kapoor aka Dheer of Saat Phere is all set to don the role of King Dipendra, who allegedly gunned down most of the royal family members, in an international docu-drama based on the Nepal royal massacre.

The film showcases a true account of the June 1, 2001 tragedy and also deals with the mental condition of Dipendra at that time, which drove him to behave likewise. Ashish plays Dipendra, who was alleged of killing his family members during a get-together. Produced by a renowned English production house 3BM, and directed by Clive Maltby, the film is called Zero Hour - A Royal Massacre and will be screened on Discovery channel.

Ashish who has earlier worked in short films like Open Doors and War or Peace, says, "Working for this particular film was a great experience. This was the first time that I worked with a foreign crew. Plus it was a challenge to play a real life character that recently became a part of history. Dipendra is a complex character. An affable person to the world, he also had a wild side to him which would come to fore once in a while, but reached its zenith on the fateful night of June 1, 2001. I had to learn so much about Dipendra, like the way he conducted himself in real life."
