'Elada Braa'... her debut movie

The Island

|

September 18, 2025

Achini Hansamali is a popular figure on social media, especially as a photographic model, and she is also a very keen reader of The Island newspaper.

In fact, she has appeared in our Glam Scene and has also been featured in our Chit-Chat column.

In 2023, she was crowned Miss Sri Lanka For Queen Of The Islands.

Well, Achini is in the news again and this time the spotlight is on her debut film 'Elada Braa.'

Says Achini: I recently had the privilege of being part of the film 'Elada Braa,' where I played the role of 'Saara'. This was my first film experience, and it was a memorable one.

"As 'Saara', I may have had limited screen time, but the experience was invaluable. I feel honoured to have acted alongside incredibly talented senior artists who made this journey unforgettable."

From a 21-year-old newcomer to being part of this project, Achini says she feels blessed.
