Her note reads, “@aishu__ is so special Beautiful inside out. And I loved watching her becoming 'Ammu'. She was so into the character. It was so lovely and easy to be her mother. It was natural and special. Ammu is all about Aishwarya. She has lived it. No wonder women who has gone through this violence are identifying with Amuda. Getting cathartic and sleep less nights.Ammu is helping many to heal their deep bitter wounds. All credits to @charukeshsekar for his conviction about what he wanted to say. why he wanted to say and how he wanted to make Ammu. His vision was so definite and clear.While shooting, I felt amazed at the same time grateful that I was being part of Ammu.So much respect for him. Directors like him is going to make this world better and safe. It is not easy to say these stories especially when patriarchy is the rule. Sensitising minds is a herculean task. But the Artist in him has a natural way to do that. The cast and crew of Ammu was so good. I can go on and on. @apoorva_shaligram the cinematographer..Wow! Sheer magic! @naveenchandra212 played his character so well.It made the film believable and convincing. Thanks to @rajaraveendar @anjali_ameer___________ for being such lovely Co'stars. Special thanks to @sridhar.siddu123 garu for teaching me my lines and @thetroupe_casting_hyd for casting me as Ammu's mother.”
