TUTAS presents Let Me Go, a heartwarming, hilarious, and hauntingly real tale of a young Malaysian woman torn between family expectations and Hollywood dreams.

ABOUT TICKETING CAST

Since she was a child, Nira Raajan has dreamed of dazzling the world from the Hollywood stage. However, even though she is ready to leave Malaysia, her mother spirals into panic, her father walks a tightrope of diplomacy, and her nosy Aunt Filo completes the picture with her blustering and grumbling in between. As Nira reflects on the hurdles of local fame and global ambition, she is torn between the life she knows and the future she craves.

 

Directed by Christopher Ling, TUTAS is proud to present our very own Dhakshayni Jegatheeswaran in ‘Let Me Go’, a heartwarming, hilarious and at times hauntingly real tale about identity, ambition and the price of chasing stardom, Written by Dhakshu herself with the help of Mark Beau de Silva, expect family fireworks, emotional twists, and a whole lot of laughter.

 

Can a young Malaysian woman truly chase her dream in a world that often tells her not to? Will she soar? Or will she stay?
