“Ammu is very close to my heart. Ammu’s journey in the film as she learns to take a stand against her oppressor is one that will leave the viewers thrilled and moved,” says writer-director Charukesh Sekar.
“We wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without the phenomenal performance of the cast – Aishwarya, Naveen and Simha – each of them have given it their all to bring their characters alive on screen. I would like to thank Karthik Subbaraj, Stone Bench and the team of Prime Video for their faith in me and my team.”
Producer Kalyan Subramanian said, “This is Stone Bench’s second collaboration with Prime Video after Putham Pudhu Kaalai and we could not have asked for a better story to tell. We have always pursued stories that are engaging but content-driven and Ammu ticks both boxes.”
“Ammu at its core, is a story of empowerment,” says actress Aishwarya Lekshmi.
“For me, portraying the role of a woman entangled in an abusive relationship, was both challenging and in its own way emboldening. As a woman, there’s a lot in Ammu to relate with, most important of which is to always speak one’s truth and stand up for one’s self. I’m grateful for the constant support of Karthik Subbaraj, director Charukesh Sekar, my fellow cast members Naveen and Simha and the team at Prime Video, all of whom helped me get into the skin of the character and do justice to it. I can’t wait to see the audience’s reaction to Ammu.”
“It was challenging to get into the mindset of Ammu‘s husband, Ravi, to understand his character’s motivations and rationale. That said, as an actor, I’m grateful that I got a chance to be a part of such an intriguing story and portray such a challenging character.
“Charukesh, as the writer and director, has masterfully woven a narrative that seeps inside the minds of viewers. It was the faith that Charukesh, Karthik Subbaraj and Stone Bench had on me that made the process easier and more enjoyable,” says actor Naveen Chandra.
“The minute I heard the story, I knew Ammu was a title I wanted to be a part of,” says actor Simha. “Both Aishwarya and Naveen are such strong actors that you can’t take your eyes off when they’re performing on screen. Charukesh has woven a story that will intrigue viewers till the very end.”
