Sameera Reddy’s much-anticipated horror-thriller Chimni draws inspiration from chilling real-life events, specifically the rare medical condition fetus in fetu, where a newborn appears pregnant due to a parasitic twin growing inside. The teaser, released Thursday, teases a haunting blend of emotion, folklore, and spine-tingling reality.
Director Gagan Puri revealed how the unsettling concept became the story’s foundation. “Yes, the story is inspired by real-life incidents that have happened to people across the world. Though rare, fetus in fetu is a documented medical condition, where it seems like a baby is born pregnant, but that’s not exactly the case. When I first came across it, it felt like something that blurs the line between science and horror, and I wanted to explore that.”
He further added, “The idea came to me when one of the writers narrated a real case.

Chimni Teaser Review Ft. Sameera Reddy: Done With Strees Fighting Bhoots! (Photo Credit –YouTube)
Another horror film is arriving to scare, but the first teaser is not messing with my brain so much that I could get scared! Starring Sameera Reddy, the film titled Chimni, seems to dive into another folklore! However, the mystery and the intrigue created by this glimpse are very flat and do not offer anything good or substantial to be excited about!
The film marks the comeback of Sameera Reddy, and to be fair to her comeback vehicle, she looks captivating on screen even in this brief appearance of 50 seconds! She looks ready to shed her old skin and embrace something new!
Rather than teasing the plotline, Chimni teaser creates a narrative, from a single scene. This should have been a winning strategy, but it fails in its purpose. I do not want anything more,...
