Producer Dinesha Jayathunga and director Dhammika Peries have come
together to launch a new teledrama project titled Charithayaka Paata
Denna (Adding Colour to Character). The muhurath ceremony of the event
took shape at the Janakala Center, Battaramulla, last week.
The story revolves around Jayantha Kotuwella, an experienced
filmmaker. He possesses an undying love for cinema but is a shady
character. He has a pretty, young wife named Dinu and a sweet little
daughter named Natalie.
They have two servants, Mallika, whom Natalie refers to as ‘Mal Amma’,
and Bennet.
Dinu comes from a wealthy family. Her brother lives abroad and her
mother, Samadhara, runs the family business after her husband had passed
away. After Dinu got married she tries to make her take over the
business.
Though Jayantha loves his family he is unable to express his
feelings. He keeps them trapped within him. He is rarely able to spare
time for his loved ones as he has to take part in the shooting and
editing sessions for his creations.
One day they were invited to a party. Jayantha was unable to make it
as he had to engage in shooting so Dinu decides to go instead without
realizing that her actions will result in shattering their family life.
