Father Mathew was in England attending theologian\u2019s college (not sure), in preparation to be a priest, as he was an engineer before, with the A.M.I.C.E qualification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 24px;\">Irangani\u2019s dad was one of the wardens in the St Paul\u2019s Church who suggested inviting father Mathew to the position as assistant priest, after he finished his course in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 24px;\">I remember, about 1954, father Mathew after returning from UK was occupying the annex at the back of the vicarage with his wife and the children. The children were kids at that stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 24px;\">Father Mathew was appointed a hospital chaplain and used to visit the general hospital daily to bless and provide spiritual guidance to the sick patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 24px;\">Most evenings he would sit on my bed and relate the serious cases he blessed in the hospital. He would describe to me about the case histories, as he knew that I was a budding doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #de1256;\">One specific subject, he was keen to know was all about insulin. He asked me lot of questions about side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">During this time, I was giving insulin injections to father Basil being a diabetic, after checking his blood sugar levels. After I got through my finals, I left the vicarage, and in the meantime trained Father Basil\u2019s driver-Kakka, a Batticaloa Muslim boy, to givethe injections to the father.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #de1256;\">Later, I heard that father Mathew had taken over the responsibility of giving insulin to father Basil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">I was transferred to various stations as a young doctor in government service, and I had no contact with the vicarage since then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">Father Mathew being a family friend of my wife, visited Hiniduma when I was DMO, to bless our first and only (late) child, and after that we never met him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">He did visit Sydney twice and gave channel 2 TV interviews on the subject of \u2018chasing devils from possessed people\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">Father Mathew was a very convincing dominant character, having a very charismatic personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #de1256;\">He became famous to chase devils through the practice of exorcism, from sick people who were supposed to be possessed by devils. and he seems to reveal a sixth sense by picking up little bottles with charmed oil, buried in the ground, in the four corners of a house, placed by enemies of a\u00a0respective family to bring sicknesses and malefic supernatural influences, a belief prevalent at that time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">The stories related by many acquaintances were that he visits the homes the day before and gets friendly with the servants and seek information that he requires to chase the devils the next day. He buries those bottles without anybody noticing his actions, on his first visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">After I briefed the information about my recollections at the vicarage during my time, we left Chandran and associates of the film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #de1256;\">A few hours later, Alston rang me and asked whether I would like to act as father Basil, in the film. With absolutely no previous theatrical background and acting in films, I said, \u2018Most certainly\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">I remember there were problems in seeking an Anglican church to film the relevant captures of the story, as the Anglican Bishop had sent a circular round that no film producer to be allowed to film in any of the churches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">I personally, visited St Paul\u2019s Church on a Sunday, to seek permission to take some captures of the interior of the church, with my pro-camcorder. The priest said that it was not possible as the bishop had sent a circular round not to allow outsiders to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">take any pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\"><strong>Permission obtained from the Methodist church, Wellawatte- to film<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">My part as father Basil was filmed at this church, and a few other scenes also. I saw Jacqueline Fernandez appearing in the church after my scenes were filmed. She was stunning and beautiful and kept the hundred odd working staff mesmerised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">My act lasts only 10 seconds, but a whole morning was spent in adjusting the ceiling camera to get the right shot. There was a side camera that took the side shots, and that view did not recognise my identity very much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32691 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Methodist-church.png\" alt=\"Methodist church\" width=\"600\" height=\"301\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #de1256;\">I appear as father Basil, holding the chalice with the sacramental wine in both hands above my head, and whilst blessing of the chalice I collapse due to an overdose of insulin (hypoglycaemic shock), and the red wine in the chalice had to be thrown in such a way for the ceiling camera to capture the dramatic spread of the red wine and my demise. I got it right in the second attempt and Chandran was very pleased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">Parishioners come rushing and surrounds me, crying, \u201cfather, are you alright\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">Meanwhile father Mathew standing beside father Basil, shows no emotion, stands firm with no remorse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">That ends my part.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #008000;\">My thanks to
