Shooting Completed At Principal Location

Shooting in the principal location - the home of Sandhya Rani - ended last week, with the last few scenes being lensed with Malani Fonseka, Dilhani Ekanayake, Kaushalya Fernando and a few other actors playing more limited roles in the film. Commenting on the shoot and its performances, director Prasanna Vithanage expressed satisfaction, saying "the characterizations have come through." He said the challenge now lay in editing the film with editor and co-producer A. Sreekar Prasad in Chennai, where he would refine, pace and tighten the film and its elements.

Also essaying roles on the final day of shooting were acclaimed theatre actors Dayadeva Edirisinghe and Mohamed 'Adam' Adamaly, a veteran of the English stage. Both played small roles, but were given attention by Vithanage, as their performances were honed out by the director.

After a well-deserved break on Friday, the crew gets back to its final lap of shooting the movie, on locations in and around Colombo, as the final pieces in the "Akasa Kusum" puzzle are made.
