It was a star-studded affair and a red-carpet event when Sri Lanka’s first musical biopic, Clarence – Rhythm of the Guitar, premiered at the KCC Multiplex in Kandy. Lead actors Damith Wijayathunga, Nihari Perera, Saranga Disasekera, and Dinakshie Priyasad brought in their star power and sparkle to the occasion, as they, accompanied by Producer Thusitha Wijayasena, his wife Swarna, and son Tharindu Wijayasena, and film producer Bandula Gunawardena, entertained crowds who had gathered to get a glimpse of their stars. The event had young girls and boys lining the path to the KCC Multiplex, playing Clarence Wijewardena’s songs on box guitars, an ode to the music maestro himself, who began his outstanding musical journey with a box guitar. The movie’s lead actors entertained fans with impromptu dances and joined the young guitarists inside KCC to sing Clarence’s famous songs. The public had the opportunity to meet the movie’s cast and capture some unforgettable moments from the premiere.
