Mihira Sirithilaka

In May 2017 at the Maharagama Youth Center, Sirithilaka launched two books: a novel titled Dehi Dodam Premaya and a collection of poetry titled Oba Nisa.

His first attempt at directing and writing came with the drama Ko Kukko. The play premiered on 8 August 2014 at Tower Hall, Maradana.

In 2013, individuals associated with Mega Bite, a program broadcast by Hiru TV, abducted Sirithilaka and threatened him with death as part of a prank on the show. He was forced to kneel in the street and telephone his wife to ask for a ransom. On the same day, he filed a case against the program over the incident. The suspects were sent to prison by the court until 10 September, and the TV channel took responsibility and apologised to Sirithilaka and his family.

Sirithilaka began his film career in 2003 with 2006 with Udayakantha Warnasuriya's Le Kiri Kandulu. Then he appeared as servant Sarath in Warnasuriya's film Hiri Poda Wassa. After that, the majority of his roles have been comedy parts, often as a co-star or in a minor role. He had a major role in the sports film Sinhawalokanaya as the character Hawadiya.

Sirithilaka moved Colombo in 2000, and got a chance to act in D.G. Somapala's teledrama Dedunu Palama. This was his maiden appearance in popular drama culture. Though it was a minor role, he was lucky to gain attention from that drama. His first main role came through Sudath Rohana's teledrama Eka Iththaka Mal with the role Preethipala. Sirithilaka has also appeared as a co-star on many television shows.
