He is the one who produced the 1st Sinhalese Talkie Movie titled "The Broken Promise" in 1947. He also started the 1st ever movie studio in Sri Lanka, titled "Sundara Sound Studios(also known as Sri Murugan Navakala Studios)" in Kandana. The studio was later purchased by Andrew Nayagam Muttiah and continued as "SPM Studios". en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._M._Nayagam
