CHARITHRA CHANDRAN

ALREADY A FAMILIAR FACE TO VIEWERS OF ALEX RIDER AND BRIDGERTON (pictured), Chandran is stepping out as the lead in the upcoming adaptation of Song of the Sun God, the bestselling novel by Shankari Chandran (no relation). The actor will play Leela in a contemporary emotional thriller that explores the loves, lives and misdemeanours of three generations of a close-knit Sri Lankan family, set against the backdrop of the country’s three-decade civil war. Leela is a young Australian woman living in London, disconnected from her own culture and unaware of long-held family secrets until she embarks on a journey across three continents to find her lost aunt and uncover the shocking reason for her disappearance. Charithra Chandran will also be an associate producer on the project.
