King Walagamba, The central character in this Film Epic, is a direct Royal descendent of the National Heroic Ruler - King Dutugemunu. This Sovereign Walagamba who ascended the throne in 103 B.C. is the son of Saddhatissa, younger brother to King Dutugemunu. King Walagamba became King at a time when the Kingdom was in the grip of a series of multi-pronged threats. Driven to rule in two sessions, King Walagamba’s first spell of rule, was shattered, in just three months after he assumed Kingship, by Cholian invaders.

 

Since he symbolized national aspirations with unswerving commitment, he was a mass hero. Eventually, overcoming all obstacles, he unified the nation under his rulership. His Chief Queen Anula and his loyal consort Soma, guarded the King enduring personal threats.

 

He finds a special niche in Sri Lankan history both as a war hero and as an unprecedented Spiritual Leader, who endowed a long lasting treasure on the totality of mankind.
