Set in locations in Colombo, Nuwara Eliya and Nilaveli Warnasuriya’s 16th movie deals with some tests and trials that a handful of youths face in life. The movie comprises a number of catchy songs which will be played in the background of breathtaking landscapes and some stunning dance sequences choreographed by Shan Perera.

Warnasuriya who had won accolades for successful hits like ‘Gini Avi Saha Gini Keli’, ‘Mahamera Usata’, ‘Rajya Sevaya Pinisai’, ‘Yakada Pihatu’, ‘Bahu Barya’ and 2007’s box-office movie ‘Aasai Mang Piyabanna’, says that ‘Challengers’ explores a whole new aspect in youths and one that had hardly come to light in creations. Life is not all about winning. It is all about sharing and caring.

Cassim, Vasantha Dukgannarala, Padmakumara Metthasena, Ariyasinghe Perera and Kaushith Malinda. Aruna Lian, Dilan Lambi, Nisal Gangodage and Ravi Hans have set the songs to melody. The background vocals are by Uresha Ravihari, Nalin Perera, Surendra Perera, Lesley Thomas, Bavi Susan, Abhisheka Wimalaweera, Chalitha Weerakoddi and Nadee Kahatapitiya.
