Actors were selected on whether they could portray the character. Therefore, an in-depth analysis was done on each character and a preliminary sketch was drawn. The Producer stressed the aim of the movie was to give the message of the story to the audience and not glorify a single actor. The cast was decided by identifying actors that could present the story in its true form. “We wanted to creates a movie that has never been seen before in Sri Lankan cinema”, he explained. Filming locations, sets, costumes and colours, were all selected carefully. The team worked with historians and experts to ensure the accuracy of all the detail. The pre-production phase spanned eight months where extensive research and studies were done on the subject. Therefore, no cost was deemed unnecessary. Working with Saman Weeraman, his long time friend and script writer of the movie, and Chathra Weeraman (Saman Weeraman’s son), the young director, Thusitha Wijayasena emphasized to his team that the movie had to be of the highest quality and standard. “We are not from the cinema industry, but we felt that there is a need for quality movie to be produced in the country,” said Thusitha Wijayasena. The story depicts the courage of the leading Buddhist Monks that enabled the true form of Buddhism to be preserved for posterity. During this time Sri Lanka started to experience a severe drought that caused a famine. Innocent villagers and the Buddhist monks were not spared by the invading forces in their quest to destroy the King. It was the venerable Buddhist monks that protected the King. However, with foreign invasion of the Chola and internal strife caused by Brahamin Theeya, the King and the royal family flee for safety. At the time of his ascension to the throne Sri Lanka was prosperous and peaceful where all lived in unity. The film revolves around the period of King Walagamba.

It was this message that the Producer and his young team wanted to convey to the audience.

“Sri Lanka did a great service to the world by committing the teachings of the Buddha into writing,” explained Thusitha Wijayasena, Producer of Aloko Udapadi. Aloko Udapadi is the first movie production by Thusitha Wijayasena, Chairman of Kandy City Centre. It is a story of courage and national pride. Aloko Udapadi narrates the sequence of events that led to the great Dhamma being written and preserved in the Tripitika. Buddhism was in grave danger and could not survive by oral tradition alone. It was a time when the country was facing Chola invasion and a great famine. The story begins 2100 years ago during the reign of King Walagamba.
