Long-standing collaborators in the Sinhala film industry Tony
Ranasinghe and Veena Jayakody take you back to those good old days with
unforgettable incidents and anecdotes, on-screen and off-screen, with
Gamini Fonseka, while daughter Dr Thanuja Fonseka Abeynayake recalls
fond memories of her beloved father.
Doyen of Sri Lankan cinema, Dr Lester James Peries breaks a long
silence and faces the television camera at his residence to pay tribute
to one of his greatest pupils.
Incidentally it was Dr Peries who technically 'launche' Gamini
Fonseka's acting career with a (seconds-long) minor role in Rekawa
(1956). It was also under Dr Peries that Gamini Fonseka learnt the ropes
of film making which parallely launched him as a successful film
director.
Join host Kumar de Silva on this special tribute to the late Gamini
Fonseka at 9.30 pm on Monday March 21.
You can catch Celeb Chat on CSN on UHF 22, Channel 75 on Dialog TV
and on PEO TV. |
