Dharuwo, Wana Wadule Wasanthaya, Badde Gedara and Yugavillakuwa had
started work on his newest teledrama Swayanjatha.
The muhurath ceremony of the project was held recently amidst many
well known figures and well wishers in the scene.
Swayanjatha is based on Samaraweera Wijeyasinghe's novel of the same
title which clinched the Swarna Pusthaka award last year. The teledrama
will be a Serenity Entertainment production lead by figures like H.D.
Premasiri, Bandula Ekanayake, Channa Fernando and Bandara Ehaliyagoda.
The story is set in the backdrop of the rural village where
auspicious play a key role in the lives of the individuals. It centers
on the situations faced by a childless couple, Udenis and Pabalina,
while seeking the help of a Buddhist monk. Though Pabalina begets a
child the fact that the child bears a strong resemblance to another
party other than the father causes problems in their harmonious life.
Several tragic episodes follow the birth of the child which reflects the
strange nature of human existence.
