Sirasa introduced another novel reality programme ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’, the reality TV show highlighted in the Oscar awarded Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.
Titled in Sinhala as ‘Obada Lakshapathi Mamada Lakshapathi’ the programme started on September 18 will be telecast every Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm on Sirasa TV.
The programme rewards the viewers’ general knowledge on various fields such as arts and culture, geography, science, history, sports and current affairs both local and foreign and anyone who could answer all 15 questions will be a winner of Rs. 2 million.
‘A common question has surfaced in the recent past; Has the knowledge of Sri Lankas with a higher literacy rate been appreciated or given sufficient value? Our aim in this programme is to highlight and reward the knowledge of an ordinary viewer while capitalizing on the dramatic tension of the show’s nature’ said Nilendra Deshapriya, the executive producer of the show.
The questions to be posed at the show are set by a diverse panel of distinguished local scholars representing several areas of their expertise. |
