Director Prasanna Vithanage Begins Preliminary Voice Dubbing in Colombo

Director Prasanna Vithanage began the first phase of sound recording on "Akasa Kusum" with actress Nimmi Harasgama this week. Harasgama voiced her scenes as Priya, with Vithanage describing the first dubbing session as going 'perfectly well.' Harasgama recorded her voice tracks for the film early, since she departs to the UK next week. Recording took place at Sarasavi Film Studios in Kelaniya, with sound recordist and mixer Ruwan Sri Walpola manning the controls. Harasgama is scheduled to go into the studio for a final recording session before completing her work in the sound studio.

The third and final shooting schedule for "Akasa Kusum" will begin this Friday (07 March 2008) in Homagama, with Harasgama doing her final scene in the movie. The location is the home of faded film star Sandhya Rani (Malani Fonseka) and features Priya's only visit to Rani's home. Fonseka returns from a five-week tour of the US to complete shooting on the film. Vithanage hopes to complete the film by June for a possible world premiere in September 2008 before a Sri Lankan release in early 2009.
