It’s hard to tell whether he found a copy later, but Sandrasagra himself noted (before his death in 2008) in an article for “The Island” that “ to this day I cannot locate the negative or the company that financed it, in spite of the fact that both Gamini and I were equity participants in the production. But even he states in an article from 2009 (following Sandrasagra’s death a year earlier) that there “ was not a copy left” of the film. Boyle has also stated that he wrote the main role with Gamini Fonseka in mind and that it was a ‘marvelous film’ which was craftily directed by Sandrasagra.
Most of the filming supposedly took place in Nuwaraeliya and Kandy, with some studio shooting in Colombo. It was described as a “ Moby Dick type of man vs beast saga with an elephant as the other protagonist” by D.B.S Jeyaraj. The plot of “ Rampage” was set in Sri Lanka in the 1930s, with Gamini Fonseka playing the lead role of Sir George, a planter/hunter who becomes the ire of a vengeful elephant.
