Pindam makers caution pregnant women, warn not to watch the film - here's why

As the Telugu horror-drama Pindam gears up for its theatrical release this week, the makers have released a crucial yet unsettling warning for their audience. According to a recent disclaimer shared by the producers, Pindam is strictly unadvisable for pregnant women.

CBFC also asked Pindam makers to make several cuts

As it happens with most films, the film’s censor certification formalities do not conclude until the final few days before the film’s release. However, the Pindam team was in for a surprise when they received an official certification from CBFC, who gave them an  ‘A’ certificate.

Pindam, reportedly contains several scenes with gory visuals and extreme violence. Accordingly, besides giving an A-Adults only certification, the censor board has also asked the makers to make a lot of cuts in their film. This new development has added a new layer of curiosity among film-goers. 

Pindam based on a true incident

The makers of Pindam had released a brief teaser of their film around a month ago, which was received very well. And on December 7, the trailer of Pindam was shared online, which has garnered over 2 million views on YouTube as of now.  As shown in the official trailer, Pindam promises to unfold across three timelines - also going back to the time period of 1930 and 1990s frequently, besides playing out in the current times. Pindam is reportedly based on a true incident in Nalgonda, revolving around the trials and tribulations of a middle class family trapped in a house possessed by spirits.

The film stars Kushee Ravi and Sriram in prominent roles, and marks the directorial debut of Saikiran Daida. Additionally, veteran actress Eeswari stars in a pivotal role. In the Pindam trailer, it is Eeswari’s gravitas-filled voiceover and presence that lends the visuals a lot of weightage.

Produced by Yeshwanth Daggumati under Kalaahi Media, Pindam will hit the theatres on December 15.
