Several popular artistes including ever popular Bathiya& Santhush, Chithral Somapala, Umariya, Tehan Perera and Hot Chocolate, Shanuka were among the galaxy of stars who participated providing vibrant music for dancing. The event was made more colourful by well-known Choreographer RaMoD and his team who mesmerised the audience with their cool steps.
