How was it to act in “It’s a Matter of Love”? It was a new experience and was a pleasure working with veteran director/actor Mr. Roy de Silva.
 
What were your thoughts on the film when you went for the premiere?  I was really excited about the movie and was wondering how the Sri Lankan audience would respond to it.

How healthy is the ART industry in Sri Lanka? There’s so much talent and potential out there. It’s a matter of utilising it properly towards making quality productions. However there are so many avenues which need improvement in making the industry healthier and stable.
 
How are you at home? Free like a bird.
 
How was your experience acting in an ENGLISH MOVIE in Sri Lanka? Since English movies are very rare in Sri Lanka, it was a very different experience acting in it. Also I consider it as a good opportunity as a Sri Lankan actor.
