The maiden film direction of actor Wasantha Moragoda ‘Mouse’ is now being screened at Regal Colombo and other 30 theatres in the CEL and Ridma circuit cinemas around the country.

Moragoda well-known as a script writer, copywriter and television programme producer talks about children and their world and the rat race of their parents to make their child the ‘brightest’ among others.
The film revolves around a poor child living in a shanty but who is unaware about a huge class difference prevailing around him.

This ‘ignorance’ itself helps ‘Sookiri’ to strive for his dream of learning, working and mastering the computer. An empty cardboard box becomes his ‘monitor’ and his keyboard is made up of tiny lids of aerated water bottles. He takes the coconut shell which covers the pot of water and turns it upside down to label it as ‘mouse’ and fixes his mothers saree cord as the cable.

The film stars Kaushalya Fernando, Roshan Ravindra, Jayani Senanayake, Avanthi Aponsu, Adisha Hettiarachchi, Tisal Tulnith, Chathura Fernando, Robin Fernando, Srimal Wedisinghe, and Moragoda himself.

Behind the screen Chandana Dilshan edited the film while Hemantha Gamage handled the make up, art direction was by Dhanuska Perera, art direction Suren Rajapaksa and music by Sunil Dayananda Konara.
