"Salelu Warama" (The Web of Love), the latest creation by veteran film maker Vasantha Obeysekera will be screened islandwide on the EAP circuit cinema halls from next week.
The film revolves around a love affair between two university students - Suren (Kamal Addararachchi) and Priyanka (Sangeetha Weeraratne).
"The film is about love, betrayal, anger and hatred - basically human feelings," says Vasantha. Priyanka who is already engaged to Sunil (Pradeep Senanayake), a divorcee who had left for employment abroad, falls in love with Suren at the university. Sunil's unexpected arrival leads to a crisis in all their lives."At university level, people have to be more mindful and thoughtful about their lives and the responsibilities," Vasantha added.
The web of love and jealousy in which the trio are entangled leads to the unexpected dramatic finale. "The film talks about the total breakdown of discipline in general in society."
Nobody is independent in the contemporary society, says Vasantha adding that every individual act has its counter effect. "But I don't teach lessons in my films," he explained.After graduating from the University of Ceylon in 1962, Vasantha started as a journalist in the editorial staff of the Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Ltd and later turned into film making.
He came into Sinhala cinema as the assistant director and co-script writer of Sathsamudura (Seven Seas). His maiden film (direction) was Wesgaththo (Masquerade) in 1975. Both the story and the script of Wesgaththo were his own. Walmathvuvo (Dispossessed) directed by him in 1975 won the OCIC award and also represented Sri Lanka at the Tashkent International Film Festival in 1976. He directed an educational film named Lamayek (A Child) after his third direction Diyamanthi (Diamonds) in 1976.
Among his creations are Dadayama (The Hunt) in 1983, Kedapathaka Chaya (Reflections in a Mirror) in 1987, Maruthaya (The Wind) in 1995, Dorakada Marawa (Death at the Doorstep) in 1998 and Theertha Yathra (Journey) in 1999.
