Funny boy is something most Sri Lankan teenagers (who grew up in the late 80s and 90s ) can relate to. We lived most of our lives through a devastating civil war for over a decade. We suppressed so much during this time. Watching the main character struggle with expressing himself is so relatable it hurts! As much as I love Nimmi Harasgama, I think Brandon Ingram, Rehan Mudannayake and Aaarush Nand are definitely divas to watch out for!

I understand the controversy surrounding the casting, but as a Sri Lankan I stand by the artist's decision. It is a beautiful story Deepa Mehta wanted to share with us, and we need to respect the creative team and their decisions.

I wish the entire cast and crew the very best at the upcoming Academy awards! YOU GUYS HAVE MY VOTES! ( this includes my 10,000 other personalities.)

keep slaaaying!
