Amma Chellam

Amma Chellam is an upcoming original theatre play by Anomalist Production that spotlights the difficult yet underrepresented experience of growing up “different” in a Malaysian Indian family. Written and performed in English and Tamil, Amma Chellam draws on real-life events and experiences to navigate tough conversations surrounding love, cultural conflicts, and parental expectations. We speak to Arjun Thanaraju (Writer and Lead Actor) and Visshnu Varman (Director) to find out more.
