‘Siriwardane Pawla’ revolves around a young man who tries to become a popular star by competing in a TV reality show.

The cast of ‘Siriwardane Pawla’ comprises Jayani Senanayake, Dayadeva Edirisinghe, Nadeeshani Peliarachchi, Shyam Fernando, Anuradha Mallawarachchi, Pasan Ranaweera, Devinda Wickramasinghe, Kasun Chathuranga and Charindra Chandrasena.
The set design is by Dharmapriya Dias, music design by Kapila Poogalarachchi, lighting by Ranga Samarakoon, costume design by Nalin Lusena and Samadara Mabulage. Tickets for ‘Siriwardane Pawla’ are priced at Rs. 1000, Rs. 800, Rs. 600 and Rs.400 (balcony) and will be available at the Lionel Wendt from March 16 onwards.
