Background
Pravegeya is an official sinhala remake of the Indian Tamil film Polladhavan which starred Dhanush and Ramya in its lead roles.[1] It is considered to be the most expensive and the biggest budgeted film ever done in Sri Lanka. Jacqueline Fernandez was cast into a lead role in September 2011 for Rs.8 million which is considered as the highest budget ever been paid to an actress in Sri Lanka, however, the production met initial difficulties when Fernandez failed to appear on her initial shooting date. Filming was done in Sri Lanka at locations including Colombo, Nuwara Eliya and Galle.[1]
