‘Aloko Udapadi’ famed Chathra Weeraman has cast Malani Fonseka the ‘Queen of Sinhalese Cinema’ to play in her 155th film. Malani has completed 50 glorious years in the cinema industry.
‘AYU’ brings a companionate love story of a young man and a woman brought together by their fate. Together they set on an intriguing journey of soul-search over the hustle of material life. They will inspire you to think about the purpose of life. Life is simply the experience of being alive from birth to death, which is however an endless struggle whether it gives a feeling of achievement or otherwise. Life is subjected to impermanence: good times and bad times both keep interchanging. When life is pricked with this bitter truth and become challenging, people tend to seek distraction and find relief from such unpleasant realities. They sometimes engage in entertainment or ensnare in fantasies which is known as escapism. In such situations the usual thinking patterns break and suddenly they want answers to life’s bigger questions. Lack of answers may trigger a personal conflict causing frustration and loss of inner joy. Nevertheless they will continue their search for a meaning as a primary motivation to get rid of the abysmal sensation of hopelessness and emptiness in their lives.
