All set to release tomorrow, Prime Video’s first Telugu Original Movie, Ammu is all set to bring a story of a woman who rises like a phoenix in the face of adversity. Ammu traces the thrilling transformation of a woman from being a victim of domestic violence to overcoming her internal conflicts, discovering her inner strength, and giving a big payback to her abusive husband. As Aishwarya Lekshmi will be seen playing the character of Ammu, she brings us close to the story of this thrilling tale.

Ever since Prime Video revealed the first look of Ammu, the audience is waiting to get more glimpses of the same. While taking us further into the world of Ammu, Aishwarya Lekshmi shared her connection with the character and how it is relatable to the mass audience.


She said, "I think Ammu starting with the name is a woman that we know. You know this woman that’s the idea that we wanted to convey as the makers of the film. That is exactly what we were thinking of when we were styling the character as well. If you look at Ammu you will see the shades of your neighbor may be your cousin, she is very very relatable, you know this woman."

What Father’s Day means around the world: A celebration of presence over presents

Father’s Day is often seen as a time for cards, tools or a family lunch, but across the globe, it carries a much deeper significance. Beyond the commercial promotions, Father’s Day reflects a wide range of traditions shaped by history, culture and emotion. While some mark the occasion with grand gestures, others focus on quiet reflection, respect and the bonds that define fatherhood.

Thailand’s day of respect

In Thailand, Father’s Day is celebrated on 5 December, the birthday of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The day is as much about honouring the nation’s former monarch as it is about celebrating fatherhood. Citizens wear yellow, the king’s birth colour, and present canna lilies to their fathers as a symbol of gratitude and respect. It’s a cultural blend of familial and national reverence.
