"Wal Katha - Amma Putha" is an immersive storytelling experience that weaves a compelling narrative set in a mystical forest, told through the lens of a mother-son relationship. This feature aims to engage the audience through a blend of interactive storytelling, augmented reality (AR), and 360-degree video, delivering the story in Sinhala.
The Wal Katha eventually fades from memory, but the moral imprint remains. The Amma, with her infinite patience, shapes the clay of her son’s character, hoping he becomes a vessel of goodness.

This is the ultimate Sinhala story—not written on palm leaves (olas), but inscribed in the breath of every mother and the heartbeat of every son.
