Life and career:

Sharma moved to Kathmandu in 2039 BS (AD 1982–83) and started his career on stage. With the establishment of television broadcasting in Nepal, he made his television debut in Krishna Malla‘s serial Chakravyuha, and gained wide recognition for his portrayal of a politician’s henchman. He then appeared in serials Tadhako Basti and Raat, among others. He also acted in the feature films, Masaal and 25 Basanta.

To get self satisfaction, he joined into the film sector and first film was ‘Masal’. At the very beginning he struggled as much as he can and later he remembers those days at the ground of well known film director. Up to now he has produced and directed many films and acted in more than 100 movies and television serials. In his opinion, though we have seen improvement in the Nepalese film industry, there are challenges as well.

Sharma made the 1994 film Truck Driver on credit from friends, including the cast and crew, who worked for promise of pay after the film made profit. The film went on to make substantial profit with which he cleared his debt and funded future projects. He directed films including Sita, Garib and Nirmaya with modest results. His next film, Allare, was highly successful at home; it was also the first Nepali film to be released internationally, among the Nepalese diaspora in Europe and North America. It was followed by films including Yo Maya Ko Sagar, Mitini and Andaaj. He then took a 12 years hiatus from making films. 

Sharma returned to directing with Jai Bhole in 2018, then he also directed 2019 film Rato Tika Nidharma. 

Mr. Shrama had taken the responsibility of president for Nepal Film Production Association, member of Film Development board and involving in various organisations. Now, he is executive chairman in Digital Cinema Nepal (DCN),a leading organisation in film technology & cinema distribution in Nepal.
