They wanted to do something unique and they believed that there is talent in Sri Lanka. This is the concept behind S-Three, a group of three influential women who are responsible for bringing Rookantha & Chandralekha down from the United States for a performance.
Rookantha is here in Sri Lanka after nearly four years and will be performing for local audiences.
S-Three is a collaboration of Sangeetha Weeraratne a veteran actress and model, Sudharma Nethicumara, the visionary behind S3 event management company and promoter of the company with her business expertise and Shereen Kumarathunga, a well known name in the entertainment industry. All three have exposure in Sri Lanka as well as abroad in their respective fields.
“We wanted to make a change in the entertainment industry. We wanted to do something new. Rookantha influenced the music culture of the ’90s. We wanted to bring the duo back [Rookantha and Chandralekha], so we invited them and they agreed to come” said Sangeetha.
“We thought that this is the change we were looking for [Rookantha and Chandralekha],” she added.
Sudharma Nethicumara also voiced a similar opinion. “We wanted to bring something new and we decided to create the organisation” she said.
This is the first live performance organised by S3. And they have great ambitions.
“From beauty pageants to fashion shows, from Musicals to Dance extravaganzas, from foreign artistes to Bollywood Superstars, Sri Lanka is about to be hit by a wave of entertainment like never before.” was the bold statement printed in the pamphlet given at the press briefing organised by S3.
Rookantha Goonetilleke and Chandralekha Perera who left Sri Lanka four years ago, at that time did not know when and if they would come back. “It is not the island that was. There is so much change. I am a citizen and lover of this country.
There is now hope and peace. There are new opportunities for music.” said Rookantha.
At the press briefing Rookantha was asked whether he would ever come to Sri Lanka with his family. He answered that for the next few months he would be coming and going, but the basic idea is to come and reside here.
Rookantha and Chandralekha will be performing live at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium on August 14 at 7.00 p.m.
