According to the director, the background for “Asani Varsha” is a true incident that was reported in a local newspaper. “The actual incident like in the film is the son who was searching for his father for a long time going to meet him on a one Vesak day. And the reaction he received there really touched me and disturbed me very much. Following on the newspaper article and police reports I collected the full story which was a real tragedy”. Thus I started to write the script.
