"Akasa Kusum" Begins Final Shooting Schedule

An old house in Homagama was the setting, as the crew of Prasanna Vithanage's "Akasa Kusum" began its final run of principal photography early Friday morning. The setting was the home of Sandhya Rani (Malani Fonseka), and the scenes shot involved Priya's (Nimmi Harasgama) final shots in the movie. Also playing in today's sequences were Shalika (Dilhani Asokamala) and Udith (Pubudu Prabhath), who featured in the film's outdoor sequences - some just outside Rani's house and others in scenic gravel road nearby. Also shot were a few more scenes featuring Harasgama.

Malani Fonseka will feature in tomorrow's scenes, having just returned from a five-week tour of the US. She will essay a bulk of her scenes as Sandhya Rani. Harasgama returns to London on Sunday, to begin rehearsals on a stage performance there. The third and final shooting schedule is set to continue till the end of March.
