Kathmandu, November 29
Actor Morgan Freeman, best known for his works in Shawshank Redemption, Million Dollar Baby and Invictus, has been spotted in Kathmandu.
He is learnt to be here in Kathmandu to shoot a TV series – The Story of God. As part of the series, he visits various places and experiences different religions. The series seeks to understand how faith has shaped human lives across the globe.
A tweet by the University of North Texas mentioned that Professor Panakaj Jain was in Kathmandu to participate in the filming of the documentary, which is not complete without Freeman coming on location.

The producers of the series have kept the shoot private and not informed the media about it. A handful of drivers told Onlinekhabar they spotted him around the Ring Road on Wednesday.
What Freeman shot in Kathmandu during his stay will only be known after the series airs on National Geographic. The dates remain a mystery.
