However, this was revealed recently by the Prime minister himself.

Speaking at the 97th birthday celebrations of Dr. Lester James Peiris, the Prime minister has said that Dr. Lestor’s legendary cinematic creation - Rekava was screened when he was a schoolboy.

Wickremesinghe said that after his mother watched the film, she had asked him to go see how he liked his aunt’s acting skills. He had said this while waving his hand towards Ms. Iranganie, who was on his left.

Dr. Lestor’s cake had portrayed black and white pictures of his cinematic directions and the Prime minister has been quick to point out that the pictures did not include one from the film ‘’Sandeshaya’.
