Chennai, Jun 6: Fans of the horror genre were in for a thrilling surprise on Thursday as the much-anticipated teaser of director B Manivarman’s horror thriller ‘Jenma Natchathiram’ was officially released by the makers. Featuring Taman Akshan and Malvi Malhotra in lead roles, the film promises a gripping cinematic experience loaded with supernatural suspense.
The film’s title, which shares its name with a well-known cult horror classic, has already sparked curiosity and nostalgia among film buffs. However, director Manivarman clarified that while the title is inspired by the original, ‘Jenma Natchathiram’ presents a fresh storyline with a brand-new premise and screenplay.
Production house Amoham Studios, in collaboration with White Lamp Pictures, unveiled the teaser via their official X (formerly Twitter) handle with a spine-tingling caption:
"It’s here… and it’s watching you. You're just one click away from your next nightmare. #JenmaNatchathiramTeaser OUT NOW!"
The teaser opens ominously with the line, “Even the most toxic plants require the purest water to thrive.” A haunting voice — possibly belonging to an injured man — whispers about a ruined mill near Pondicherry hiding ?57 crore. Tempted by greed, a group ventures into the derelict structure, only to discover chilling rituals and eerie secrets lurking within.
Speaking about the film, director Manivarman shared, “Just like the legendary original, our ‘Jenma Natchathiram’ will become the talk of the town. There's a subtle connection to the earlier film, and audiences will sense it in the theatre.”
The movie is produced by Subhashini K under the Amoham Studios banner and features a talented crew — K G handling cinematography, Sanjay Manickam composing music, S. Guru Suriya in charge of editing, and SJ Ram leading the art direction. Costumes are by Subika A with Ramesh as costumer, stunts by Miracle Michael, and overall project management by Vijayan Rengarajan.
The film boasts a powerful ensemble cast including Maithreya, Raksha Cherin, Sivam, Arun Karthi, Kali Venkat, Munishkanth, Velaramamoorthy, Thalaivasal Vijay, Santhana Bharathi, Boys Rajan, Nakalites Niveditha, and Yasar.
Sources confirmed that post-production work has been completed, and the film is now ready for a grand worldwide theatrical release. Following the success of GOAT and Good Bad Ugly, Romeo Pictures Raahul has secured the global theatrical rights for Jenma Natchathiram.
Fans can now look forward to a horror spectacle that promises both thrills and a nostalgic connection to one of Tamil cinema’s iconic titles.
