Prabhakaran (Sinhala; Sinhalese: ප්‍රභාකරන්) is a 2008 Sri Lankan bilingual biographical war film directed by Thushara Peiris and produced by Osmond de Silva.[2] It stars Priyankara Rathnayake, Anuruddhika Padukkage and Dasun Madhusanka in lead roles along with Darshan Dharmaraj and Sarath Dikkumbura.[3] Music composed by Mahesh Denipitiya.[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] It is the 1104th film in Sri Lankan cinema.[10] The film gained notoriety after Peiris was attacked by a mob in Chennai, India during a visit to work on the film's Tamil version. The attack was a result of an opposition towards the film by Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) supporters in the midst of ongoing protests against the Sri Lankan Civil War.[11]

The film screened successfully in Rome and 25 theaters around Europe and earned 18,000 Euros.[12]
