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

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.
