Sameera Reddy Reveals Son Pushed Her Film Comeback After 13 Years

After staying away from films for over ten years, Sameera Reddy is making her comeback. She says her son gave her the push to return. Known for movies like Ashoka, Jai Chiranjeeva and De Dana Dan, Sameera’s last film was Tezz in 2012. Now, she’s back with Chimni, a horror story where she plays a mother fighting a dark spirit.

Sameera shared a simple moment that changed her mind. Her son Hans, who was born in 2015, watched her old film Race and asked, “Mum, why don’t you act anymore? You don’t look like that now.” That question made her think again about acting. She said she stayed away because she was busy looking after her kids, but now feels ready.

Going back to film after so long was not easy. People on set called her a “veteran,” but she felt she had to start fresh. When the director said “action,” something inside her woke up, and she gave her best. During her break, Sameera stayed active on social media, sharing real-life struggles like parenting and body image, connecting with many fans.

Chimni is about a mother in a creepy old palace, trying to save her daughter from an evil spirit. The teaser shows her walking in the dark, facing danger and fear. The story promises suspense and emotion. Fans are happy to see Sameera back on screen after many years.
