iflix, the world’s leading entertainment service for emerging markets, offering subscribers unlimited access to thousands of TV shows and movies, welcomes Sri Lankan celebrities Saranga Disasekara and Diankshie Priyashad as brand ambassadors.


Winner of several of Sri Lanka’s Most Popular Actor awards, Saranga captured the hearts of fans for his starring roles in Ape Kaalaye Patachara and Sri Siddhartha Gautama, as well as his well followed modelling, hosting and singing career. Alongside teledrama actress, TV presenter, and budding singer Diankshie, the pair represents two of the country’s most popular stars. 


“It is an exciting time to be in the entertainment industry and to witness the rise of digital platforms such as iflix. I am a huge fan of the service, and am thrilled to join the iflix Sri Lanka team as brand ambassador. I love the company’s vision and its values which are so similar to my career and life,” said Saranga.


 “As a self-professed movie-addict, I am very excited to be a part of the global revolution, and join iflix’s exclusive list of celebrity ambassadors and have my own ‘Playlist’ for people to be able to check out my favourite movies and shows on the service. I look forward to meeting some of my wonderful fans at upcoming iflix events,” added Diankshie.
