A Chennai-based company has undertaken to dub and distribute all over India Road from Elephant Pass. It is Sri Lankas official entry for the Oscars next year. Southern Digital Screenz run by Usman Faiz would dub the film into Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannda and Hindi, and release it in 1000 digital cinemas in India. Director of the film, Chandran Rutnam said dubbing in Tamil is going on in Chennai. The Tamil version of the film will be ready for release by January next. Mr. Rutnam said the other versions will be released later. Road from Elephant Pass is based on a prize winning English language novel by Nihal de Silva. It is the story of the strange relationship between a Sri Lankan Army Officer and a female LTTE cadre after circumstances threw them together in the midst of war in North Sri Lanka.
An army officer's routine assignment to pick up a woman informant near Jaffna turns into a nightmare when the Tigers launch a massive attack in the peninsula targeting the camp at Elephant Pass. The two adversaries are forced to escape together through rebel held Wanni and later, cross the abandoned Wilpattu National Park on foot. Bitter enemies at the start of their journey, Captain Wasantha and the activist Kamala face innumerable dangers from wild animals and threats by a gang of deserters who make determined and violent efforts to apprehend the woman. The constant external danger, and their enforced dependence on each other gradually erodes their enmity and distrust. But a shocking revelation confronts Wasantha when he finally reaches Colombo. He is now compelled to choose between his friend and his country.
