If I say the most veteran films stars invented by the Sri Lankan cinema in its history were Joe, Gamini and Tony no body would disagree with me.

When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe he has made that effort and that is, therefore, why he will sleep for the eternity. May your soul rest in peace.
