Director Chandran Rutnam's first English film gained much attention for a surprise casting: Academy award-winning British superstar Sir Ben Kingsley and British actor Ben Cross. Filmed in Colombo, the story is about a mysterious man played by Kingsley, who plants five bombs in the city, demanding the release of four major terrorists from Deputy Inspector General of the Colombo Police Department, played by Cross. The film was a winning entry at the 2013 Madrid International Film Festival, winning Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor, as well as a bronze medal at the New York Festivals' International Television and Film Awards.
The film starts in a room full of bomb making material and newspaper articles about LTTE bombings in Sri Lanka, the screen then cuts to a typical busy morning in Colombo. "The Man" (Ben Kingsley) plants five bombs around the city; on a public bus, in a shopping mall and the Polgoda police station, on an intercity train, and at the Katukurunda Airfield. The man then establishes his mini control station on top a skyscraper in Dehiwala and calls the police chief Morris Da Silva (Ben Cross) and informs him that if four prisoners are not released, the bombs will be detonated
