Well this is
for all those Daskon fans out there. This post would tell you what the back
story of Daskon and who the Crown Prince Pundasala is.
Spoilers ahead….be careful cause u may be tempted
to know moreJ
Daskon is a French descendant Sri Lankan Prime
Minister who fell in love with Pramila Devi (Sri Lankan Queen). It is a story
of love, betrayal, power and royalty. The Kandyan Kingdome (1600 – 1782AD) was
one of the strongest of its time and it prevented the Dutch and the British
from conquering Sri Lanka for 19 years.
The Crown
Prince is Vira Parakrama Narendra Singha the last Sinhala King of Sri Lanka. He
was the son of King Vimaladharamasurya II. The Prince also named as Crown
Prince Pundasala came to throne when he was 17 years and reigned for 32 years.
He devoted himself to the furtherance of literature and religion and lived in
peace with the Dutch Invaders. He was from the “House of Dinajara”. His
coronation happened in 1707 after the death of his father as depicted in the
drama.
He reigns from 4th June 1707 to 13th May 1739.
Since he had no children his wife’s brother Sri Vijaya Rajasinha a Nayakkar
nationality from South India became King.
Well in the
drama much is not said of Daskon and so it is in history but I’m sure Jackson
Anthony would fill in these spaces as the drama develops. The biggest fear I have is that the
friendship between the Crown Prince lather the King would be destroyed through
the love that emerges between Queen Pramila and Daskon. I think there will be
many crying scenes where we will have to cry buckets and the good Crown Prince
will turn to a bad King Narendra Singha in my eyes especially since the drama
is named Daskon. So the obvious protagonist is Daskon who has to be portrayed
well.
In an
interview with the program House Full Jackson Anthony pointed out that the love
story between Pramila and Daskon was always known as the forbidden love story
and was never spoken about but in reality it was a human and emotional story
and he pointed out that his aim in this drama Daskon is to portray it more than
just a forbidden love story. Ha can’t wait for the plot to develop because the
history is interesting but can be boring sometime. Hope the pace of the overall
drama increases so that we can get involved in the drama.
