Dailynews » Imagine a pallet full of colours. Each shade possesses its own unique beauty and vibrancy. It delivers a vast array of subtle messages to each of those who witness its shades. Each brushstroke from the painter derives a meaning and each selected shade is like a piece of his soul that had shifted onto the canvas.

This is the ideology that young film director Isuru Weerasinghe Mudali had tried to portray in his debut movie Colour. The film stars Kamal Addara Arachchi in the lead. Sandalie Sulakna Danapala enters cinema with the project.

“We have drawn a margin in our films as artistic films and commercial films. According to this belief there is no artistic taste in commercial films and artistic films do not bring bucks. However masses gathered to witness My Name is Khan, a commercially successful film with artistic values. This is a good example in proving that there is something lacking in our beliefs,” Isuru related.

His attempt was to make an artistic production of high quality. Thus Colour, a tale embodying the joy and sorrow of a painter’s youth, took shape.

“The characters do not necessarily have to have names because we all bear fragments of their soul. However I did import some of the best commercial advertising techniques in the business sector in making the film,” said the youth who had been playing a key role in the advertising field in the country for around five years. He had made commercials for some leading institutes including Bank of Ceylon, National Savings Bank, ITN, Lak Handa, Nipolac and National Lottery Board.

The commercial he made for Bank of Ceylon to commemorate Deepavali even won him the Reggie Candappa Creative Award. He also created six TV commercials for President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the last election and directed the stills for the tribute song sung to mark the death of the late MP Jeyaraj Fernandopulle.

The leading lady of the movie Sandalie is a well known face on the mini screen.

She had acted in a number of tele projects like Duwili Suwanda, Tikiri Hapannu, Kula Kumariya, Santhuwarune, Sinina Kumari, Ayal, Sulang Kapolla and others. She had entered acting through the stage and had portrayed roles in stage dramas like Sudu Paraviyo and Hemamali. She also presents the Ira Madiyama program on Rupavahini. A talented violinist and vocalist, Sandali had launched her own CD Pini Kata Ahurak.

“Many believed that Sri Lankan cinema is on its last legs but recently many of our creations broke into the global scene. Our films and artistes gained international recognition for their talent and brought fame to our motherland,” Isuru said.

He had already tried his hand at short filmmaking and hopes to showcase his skills on a wider angle through Colour.

The film was shot mostly in areas in the city. It is produced by Hiranthi and Palitha Samarasinghe on behalf of Nethsuka Films. Colour is set to unspool at theatres in June.
