Since being a kid in over 140 films, many of which were foreign films, Fonseka has appeared in over 140 films.

At Gamini's funeral in 2004, Malini said, "His appearance had sway across the board, and I had the privilege of being associated with Gamini." The cinema of the period is slowly fades away, and Gamini's passing is yet another step forward.
