"Akasa Kusum" in Pettah

"Akasa Kusum" continued its shoot for a fifth day today, shooting a few small interior scenes in the Old Town Hall in Pettah, a favoured urban location of many a film production. Director Prasanna Vithanage and his crew were on set by 7 a.m. for a few shots that would conclude the flashback scenes in the film.
Veteran actor and TV & radio personality Nadarajah Sivam played a brief supporting role of a big studio owner of yesteryear speaking with the father of Sandhya Rani. Young Sanduni Fonseka was at hand to play the young Sandhya for the last time in today's shoot.
The shoot was brisk, since it did not involve any great set ups, with Sivam using his experience to beautifully create the brusque, authoritative nature of an old time studio boss. As per schedule, shooting ended at lunch time, giving the crew an extra rest before a projected all-nighter the following day.
