In his personal life, Uddika is happily married to Anusha Kumari Pannala. The couple has been blessed with a son named Angsh Prachien, who was born on 24 April 2013.
Uddika's journey in the world of cinema began with a minor role in the 2011 Buddhist film "Mahindagamanaya." However, it was his breakthrough role as "Vadisha Wikramanayaka" in the 2013 film "Samanala Sandhawaniya" that catapulted him to prominence. The film achieved significant success, running for over 100 days in theaters.
His remarkable performance earned him a nomination for "Most Popular Actor" at the 2014 Hiru Golden Film Awards. In the same year, he clinched the "Best Actor" award at the Sumathi Awards, despite his relatively short time in the industry.
Uddika's talent and dedication further shone through in the 2015 blockbuster film "Maharaja Gemunu," where he portrayed the character of "King Dutugemunu" under the direction of Jayantha Chandrasiri. The film went on to win the title of "Most Popular Movie" at the 2016 Hiru Golden Film Awards.
In 2017, Uddika displayed his acting prowess in two distinct roles. In the critically acclaimed epic historical film "Aloko Udapadi," he masterfully portrayed "King Walagamba."

Continuing his diverse range of performances, Uddika took on the lead character of "Rashan 'Rush' Wijemanna" in the 2019 thriller action film "Rush." This role allowed him to explore a completely different character, deviating from his previous portrayals of kings.
In 2020, Uddika's leadership of the 'Ape Maga' Foundation led to the organization of a series of drama and performing workshops. These workshops, held at the North Central Provincial Auditorium in Anuradhapura, aimed to provide aspiring individuals with an opportunity to enhance their dramatic and performing skills.
