The makers of director B Manivarman’s upcoming horror thriller Jenma Natchathiram unveiled the film’s teaser on Thursday, igniting excitement among fans and movie enthusiasts alike. Starring Taman Akshan and Malvi Malhotra in lead roles, the film promises to deliver a fresh, spine-tingling experience within the horror genre.
Borrowing its title from a classic horror thriller that once terrified audiences, Jenma Natchathiram sparks curiosity while establishing itself as a standalone story with a unique screenplay. Amoham Studios, the production house behind the film, shared the teaser on their official X timeline with the haunting message: “It’s here… and it’s watching you. You’re just one click away from your next nightmare. #JenmaNatchathiramTeaser OUT NOW!”
The teaser opens with the cryptic line, “Even the most toxic plants require the purest water to thrive,” followed by the voice of an injured man revealing a hidden fortune of 57 crores stashed inside a dilapidated mill near Pondicherry. Drawn by greed, a group ventures into the haunted location, only to discover sinister rituals taking place within its walls—setting the stage for a terrifying tale.
Director Manivarman emphasized the film’s fresh approach, stating, “While the title is inspired by the all-time classic horror hit, this is a completely new story with a different premise and screenplay. There is a subtle link between the two films, and the audience will feel it when they watch this in theatres.”
Produced by Subhashini K under Amoham Studios in partnership with White Lamp Pictures, Jenma Natchathiram features cinematography by K G, music composed by Sanjay Manickam, editing by S. Guru Suriya, and art direction by SJ Ram. Costume design is led by Subika A with Ramesh as costumer, while stunt choreography is managed by Miracle Michael. The production is overseen by Vijayan Rengarajan.
The ensemble cast boasts not only the leads Taman Akshan and Malvi Malhotra but also Maithreya, Raksha Cherin, Sivam, Arun Karthi, Kali Venkat, Munishkanth, Velaramamoorthy, Thalaivasal Vijay, Santhana Bharathi, Boys Rajan, Nakalites Niveditha, and Yasar in significant roles.
Sources confirm that post-production is complete, and the film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release soon. Following the success of GOAT and Good Bad Ugly, Romeo Pictures Raahul has secured the global theatrical rights.
For fans eager to explore the evolving landscape of horror films and movie characters, Jenma Natchathiram promises a gripping addition to the film industry’s horror movie repertoire.
