Sameera Wakwella’s newest production Zoom began work with a colourful muhurath ceremony recently at Solis Hotel, Pitakotte.

The movie which is a Zoom Production is about a being with two souls. A love story also flows between this being another. Though the setting is that of a wealthy town in the modern set up there is a eeriness running throughout the film which will chill you to the bone.

Two of the main characters are twin sisters Naduli and Sanuli. Naduli and Nisal are in a relationship but suddenly after an unfortunate accident Naduli dies. Sanuli believes that she is to blame for her sister’s death as it is due to her mistake that Naduli meets with an untimely death. She suffers mentally. Naduli’s soul takes advantage of Sanuli’s mental state and takes over her body with the hope of reuniting with Nisal.

The twin’s parents, Nisal and a renowned professor try their best to exorcise Naduli’s soul out of Sanuli’s body. When they believe that they have almost succeeded the story takes an unexpected turn.

Which twin will survive? That is a question that will pop up in the audience’s mind as they watch Zoom.

“The story was inspired by common ideas and emotions found in today’s youth. It is a study of two personalities and diverse characteristics which spring out from one physique. They say love conquers all and this fact is questioned by the film.

This is more than a romantic movie. It is a study of the human psychology as well as a examination of how the latest technology can be implemented in filming such a production,” Sameera expressed his views on Zoom.

The movie is produced by Dammika Abeysena and Praveen Jayaratne on behalf of Dil Films International Ltd.

It starts renowned youth faces like Dinakshi and Sheshadri Priyasad and Hemal Ranasinghe.
