Louis turns to ‘Buddha Puthra’
'Buddha Puthra' the latest film from director Louis Vanderstraaten is a pleasant change from his earlier 'adult only' tag film. 'Buddha Puthra' is produced by Nimal Sumanasekara and the story is centred around a Buddha statue stolen from a village.

In a distant and poor Sinhalese village, a Buddha statue believed to have miraculous powers is stolen by a young man who visits the village regularly to find things of antique value. Consequent to the loss of the Buddha statue, the villagers fear that they would face a lot of hardships and suffer incurable diseases and much misfortune.

A young man, 'Dharme' who was brought up by the chief Buddhist monk in the temple, volunteers to go to the city and get the statue back. The main cast includes Vasantha Kimaravila, Anusha Damayanthi, Buddhika Rambukwella, Nimal Sumanasekara and Dayananda Jayawardena.

In the technical crew Dinesh Kumara handled the camera, M. S. Aliman did the editing and musical score is by Charaka Madusanka. H. M. Jayawardena and Asoka Peiris set music for the songs sung by Samantha Perera, Nilushi Halpita and Chamari Senanayake.
