During the past few weeks many web sites were talking about the film Kuweni and an abnormality in one of the scenes of Dulani Anuradha. It had made fun of a scene which is supposed to be showing Kuweni’s underwear in a scene where she is jumping from a higher level. Dulani, who is a teacher, had faced unnecessary discomfort due to this. She states that there isn’t such a scene in the movie. Published below is an interview given by her to the Sarasawiya newspaper.
You, who have done justice to the role of Kuweni had faced an injustice?
Yes, this is the first time I am talking to media on this regard. I saw a trailer of the film on the internet. I was upset to see a distorted scene of mine.
If you explain it a little bit more?
There was a scene of mine in which I had to jump from a high place. I was 
So, are you saying that you were not wearing such a short dress?
No, never.
Are you taking responsiblity in making that statement?
Yes, very much. I am a teacher. Therefore, this became a huge problem to me; it is mental torture for me.
What did you do when you saw the video on the internet?
I made a complaint at the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission but they said it is better to make a complaint to the Director of Film Corporation. So I told Mr. Asoka Serasinghe, the Director of the Film corporation. After an investigation, he informed me that the scene had been deleted before it had been showed in film halls.
Whom are you blaming on this?
I can’t blame anyone as such because I don’t know as to why that happened and who is behind it.
Don’t you think that the producer and the Director are responsible for this?
I don’t know that properly. Such things could be done in editing as well. Sometimes, someone else would have done such a thing to make the Director or the Producer feel uncomfortable.
That particular scene is not showed on the film or in the trailer anymore. So hope you don’t have to be upset in that regard?
Yes, but still that edited version is being played in many websites. That is a huge problem.
