Final Lap of Shooting Begins

Cast and crew began the final lap of shooting this week, beginning with scenes lensed at the Maharagama Youth Centre over the weekend.

Saturday saw scenes at a TV station and dialogue between its employees, who were dealing with a minor crisis. Among the actors playing in the scene were Tharidi Fonseka, a niece of Malani Fonseka and the fourth Fonseka to have a role in the movie. On a relatively relaxed day, the scenes were shot both inside and outside a tape library.

Sunday saw the glamour return to the set, with Malani Fonseka playing opposite popular TV show host Nirosha Perera, who was guesting as herself. The scene was shot on Sunday afternoon, when Perera could free herself from her hectic TV schedule. Looking every bit the glamour queen of Sri Lankan TV, she essayed her scene with confidence, playing opposite Malani Fonseka's Sandhya Rani. Director Vithanage was wholly satisfied with the scene, describing Perera as "very professional."

The next few days shoot at various locations in and around Colombo as the filming nears completion. The shoot wraps on Wednesday, 26 March.
