Popular YouTuber Lakmal Weerasiri, best known for his role in the viral comedy duo ‘Lakai Sikai’, is set to make his cinematic directorial debut with the upcoming fantasy feature ‘Sura Detuwo’. The film officially commenced production with a traditional muhurath ceremony held recently.
Written by Suneth Malinga Lokuhewa, Priyanath Vidanapathirana, and Lakmal himself, ‘Sura Detuwo’ brings to life a heartwarming and whimsical tale rooted in the belief of guardian angels who watch over humans.
At the centre of the story is a young girl named ‘Dhoni’, who finds herself in a children’s home after the death of her loving grandparents. Struggling with loneliness and grief, ‘Dhoni’ makes a heartfelt plea to the spirits of her grandparents for a guardian angel, and receives not one, but two. What follows is a rollercoaster of humorous and touching events as these ‘guardian angels’step into her life.

The film is produced by Sudeh Muthunawagonna, with a strong technical crew behind the scenes. Madhawa Kamalasiri handles cinematography, Pethum Sandaruwan is in charge of editing, and Palitha Tennakone serves as production manager. The assistant director is Tharindu Arachchige, with art direction by Akuramboda Piyatissa and special effects by Kasun Chandranath Pathirana.
Shan Alwis oversees colour grading and production coordination, while Pathira Abeysinghe designs costumes and Rangana Thikawardena handles makeup. Sashin Gimhana is in charge of sound, and Dhanushka Rasadath manages lighting.
