Apart from being a noted character artist Lakshmy Ramakrishnan has also recognized as a director of meaningful films with novel concepts. After the critically acclaimed Aarohanam` and Nerungi Vaa Muthamidadhey` she has written and directed Ammani` a film that has a 82 year old woman in the titular character.

The film produced by Ven Govinda under the Tag Entertainment` banner, is all set to hit the screens on October 14, 2016.

The makers reveal that Ammani` is the tale of a special bonding between two characters Salamma`, 57 (played by Lakshmy Ramakrishnan) and Ammani`, 82 (played by Subbalakshmi, who played Trisha`s granny in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa). The film with a relatively short running time of 105 minutes has Nithin Sathya, Robo Shankar, George Mariyan, Sri Balaji, Rejin Rose, C Renukha and S Annam in other pivotal roles.

The film`s technical crew is well-built with a bunch of talented technicians such as Cinematographer KR Imran Ahmedh, Music Director K, Editor KR Rejith, Art Director AS Raja, Lyricist Na Muthukumar and Dance Choreographer M Sherif.

Producer Ven Govinda said "When I read the script of Ammani`, I just felt like reading a novel. The script was that much interesting. Ammani` is something more than entertainment. "

Just because the film has been directed by woman and has women in lead roles there is a risk that the film may get branded as women oriented. However Lakshmy Ramakrishnan stubbornly denies this perception being cast on her film.

"Ammani is not a Women oriented film. It is related to everyone with a universal concept. Normally People will think how there life has to be, but a women thinks how her death has to be. She is Ammani`. I thank producer Ven Govinda for picking up such a strong script."

Lyricist Na.Muthukumar whose untimely demise shocked everyone in the film buff as well as the film fraternity has penned songs in this film. Speaking about his contribution the director says " I would like to dedicate our Ammani` to late Lyricist Na Muthukumar. He was simply the legend. His works in Ammani` were priceless. The New-Age-philosophical song, Lifea Machan Machan oru Prepaid Phoneu...` written by Na Muthukumar will speak about the facts of life."

Lakshmy Ramakrishnan ends it on a confident tone with these words: " We are quite sure that Ammani` will travel in the hearts of Audience very soon…"
