Sohum Shah’s Tumbbad was more than just a film, it has evolved into a cult classic, seamlessly blending mystery, folklore, and horror.

Over time, it built a loyal fan base, with its popularity soaring even further after its 2024 re-release, where it became one of the highest-grossing re-released Indian films. With anticipation for Tumbbad 2 at an all-time high, Sohum Shah recently made the sequel official.

Expectations are now higher than ever, and reports suggest that Sohum Shah Films is going all out to deliver a cinematic experience on a much larger scale. The sequel is expected to focus on creating highly realistic environments, aiming to surpass the intricate detailing that made the original a classic.

According to an industry source, “Sohum Shah Films is recreating environments with extreme authenticity while also planning extensive real-location shoots. The makers are leaving no stone unturned, mounting the sequel as a large-scale magnum opus.”

The production is also expected to be extensive, with the shoot reportedly spanning over 200 days. A massive 7–8 acre set, resembling an entire city, is currently being constructed in Mumbai for the initial schedule, indicating a far more immersive cinematic experience.

Backed by Sohum Shah, the film is slated to go on floors later this year. The project is being spearheaded by the actor-producer under his banner, in association with veteran producer Dr. Jayantilal Gada.
