'Me Paren Enna' : Teledrama travels the A9 When fluff has almost completely overshadowed meaningful dramas and content and quality are becoming mere words and not something one actually sees on our television sets, Young Asia Television has come up with a new tele-drama called 'Me Paren Enna' (Ivvaliyil Vaarungal - Take This Road) which aims to put meaning back into the whole genre.
Asoka Handagama has previously given the public much food for thought in such controversial tele-dramas as 'Dunhinda Addara', 'Diyakata Pahana' and 'Synthetic Sihina' as well as films such as 'Thani Thatuwen Piyambanna' and 'Me Mage Sandai on the silver-screen. His new creation tackles the arduous task of discussing the socio-political events of our times. Take This Road takes us along the post-ceasefire A9 road to Jaffna and through war, peace, life, love, hatred, death makes us peer into ourselves and make us peer within ourselves to see if we can stand the test of our times. However interesting the story, however meaningful the theme, the constant advertisements that interrupted the tele-dramas of today tend to sap the joy out of the experience and make us lose the threads of the story. In order to prevent this from happening, Take This Road is being telecast without any advertisement breaks. In addition to this, the tele-drama will feature both Sinhalese and Tamil sub-titles since it is meant for all the people of Sri Lanka. The tele-drama features a host of Sri Lankan actors including Grace Ariyawimal, Ranjith Amerasekera, Tharindi Fonseka, Raj Ganeshan, A.M.M. Mansoor, Sarath Kothalawela, Kamala Mohankumar, Nishantha Rajini, P. Jeewitha, L. Dharshan, Sanjeewa Upendra, Dhananjaya Siriwardhane. Take This Road also features the music of Kapila Pugalaarachchi and the vocal talents of Nelu Adhikari, Kapila Pugalaarachchi and King Ratnam. |
