A star studded cast that includes Roshan Ranawana, Sanath Gunathilake and debuting former Miss Sri Lanka Aruni Rajapakse, Director Udaya Palliyaguruge’s Super Six is a film that combines the influences of romance, comedy, action and fantasy and is the first movie to be launched in Sri Lanka after the end to the war.

It also happens to be the country’s largest commercial budgeted movie at a production cost of Rs 77 million. A Sri Lankan cast of over 600, which includes 160 in the main cast, 180 technical and a host of extras handpicked for their talent ensure a one of a kind movie experience.

According to the director the genre of this film is “Jollywood’, stating that it incorporates all emotions and senses known to the ‘human mind and spirit’. Speaking at the launch of the movie at Cinnamon Grand Colombo Palliyaguruge stated, “With cricket being Sri Lanka’s national pastime,Super Six revolves around a group of youth from Moratuwa participating in the Super Sixes, a six a side tournament.” He added, “There are unpredictable perils of fate and destiny that are intertwined in each of these young people’s lives while they strive to achieve their dreams on the singular platform of the cricket pitch. But the rivalry between the teams spillover into their off-the-pitch lives although the ultimate lessons are the values they learn from each other in this ‘Super Sixes’ tournament.”

As head of Aristo Films, a 100% Sri Lankan film Production Company formed in 2005, Palliyaguruge also combines the genius of R Sadesh Kumar into the film which is set to be on location in both Sri Lanka and Malaysia, using technical resources from India. This is also the first time that an ARRI 435 camera is being used with Kodak Vision 3 Film. In addition, Palliyaguruge has gained the expertise of a choreographer and professional stuntmen from India, incorporating aerial views from a specially commissioned helicopter to add to the nuances of movie. Seven especially composed songs comprise the movie soundtrack.

Palliyaguruge explained, “Super Six is a first of its kind movie in Sri Lanka, not only from a budgetary angle, but also from the extent of the cast, the catalogue of multi-talented actors of who some are celebrities making their debut in the film world, the technical features of high quality camera and film work, music, locations and even infusion of added features like stuntmen and a highly celebrated Indian choreographer. For me, just like for the Super Six team, this is a dream come true.”

Filming of Super 6 will comment in September and continue until mid November this year. The film is planned to be ready for release within a year and various locations for shooting within the island and in Malaysia are finalized. Aristo Films will produce and market this film. The film will be distributed by EAP films. (KA)
