Interesting facts

Ammani is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language drama film written and directed by Lakshmy Ramakrishnan. It features herself, Subbalakshmi and Nithin Sathya in the leading roles. The film, produced by Ven Govinda, released on 14 October 2016.

Production

Lakshmy Ramakrishnan was motivated to make the film after meeting an elderly ragpicker during her talk show and created a fictional story from her interaction with the woman. Veteran actress Subbalakshmi, who worked with Ramakrishnan in Gautham Vasudev Menon's Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (2010), was cast in the titular role, while Ramakrishnan revealed she would also play a parallel lead role.

Post-production work began in July 2015 and the team began promotions during September 2015, with teaser trailers of the film released publicly. A "curtain-raiser" event for the film was held in Kuwait, followed by the launch of another teaser in Dubai during the same month. A release date of Diwali 2015 was initially announced, but was subsequently evaded following a dispute between Ramakrishnan and producer Ven Govinda.
