    Udana was inspired to become a filmmaker at the age of 8, after watching Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park”. He recieved his primary education in Sri Lanka at Christ King College, Tudella and secondary & higher education at Royal College, Colombo. In 2004 Udana attended a film workshop held by the Belgium filmmaker Samy Pavel. In the same year he wrote, produced and directed “Hope”, a short film about a victim of the 2004 tsunami. The short film was entered in the 2005 World Fest-Houston International Film Festival and made it to the top 50 under the short film category. In 2005 he played the lead role in “The Currupted”, a fifteen minute short film highlighting the drug world in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

In June 2009 at the age of 24, he co- founded Grindout Productions and co-wrote, produced and co-directed the action/thriller “Chase” with collaborator Ray Jay. In 2010 he directed his first solo feature film, the crime/drama/thriller “Train to Kandy” which was a remake of the British independent film "London to Brighton".

    Udana is currently working as an Associate Producer on the 2012 feature film "Ghost Hunt: Legend of the Chanting Dwarf". He also plays a lead role in the upcoming sci-fi/action/thriller “Re- Entry” which is a standalone sequel to Gareth Edwards - "Monsters (2010)".
