Well-known actor Ali Kazmi's upcoming film ‘’Funny Boy’’ will be launched on Netflix on 10th of December.

According to details, this historical film will reflect unrest in Sir Lanka during the war between Sinhalese and Tamil during 1970-80. It is based on novel Funny Boy, by Sir Lankan writer Shyam Selvadurai.

The film will include performances by a star-studded cast of actors: Ingram, Nimmi Harasgama, Kazmi, Agam Darshi, Seema Biswas, Rehan Mudannayake and Shivantha Wijesinha.

Shot on location in Colombo, the film explores Tamil protagonist Arjie’s (Arush Nand/Brandon Ingram) sexual awakening from a young boy, deemed “funny” by disapproving family, to a teenager enamoured by a male classmate, just as political tensions escalate, leading up to the civil war.

Produced by David Hamilton, three-time-Oscar-winner Howard Shore will be working on the score. Teresa Font is serving as the editor while Douglas Koch is the cinematographer.
