Mobile phone menace on the sets

-

This is the story of a prominent tele drama director who is known for his irritation when artistes use mobile phones on film or tele drama shooting sets. During the launching ceremony of a tele drama recently, he reminded this factor to the artistes and asked anyone who cannot abide by this rule to leave the project right away. Many responded with a smile. The director went on to say that this was his policy from day one and recalled a story relating to the late veteran actor Joe Abeywickre­ma.

“One day during the muhurath ceremony of my drama, Joe ayya told me that my stance about mobile phones was too harsh. I told him that it did not apply to him because he never used a mobile phone then. However, for some mysterious reason he pulled out of that project and I had to replace him with another guy,” he said.
