Actor Sohum Shah on Saturday announced a sequel to his 2018 critically acclaimed film, Tumbbad, a day after the movie was re-released in theatres. Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, the atmospheric horror drama received critical acclaim upon its release six years ago. It was produced by the actor under his banner Sohum Shah Films.
On September 14, Sohum Shah took to Instagram to share a video featuring a scene where a man warns about another disaster that is about to strike. The teaser opens with Vinayak and his son Pandurang, with Sohum Shah’s voiceover delivering a foreboding message: “Samay ka pahiya gol hai, jo beet gaya woh fir laut ke aayega… darwaaza bhi ek baar phir khulega.” As the teaser closes, the words “Pralay, Pralay phir aayega” echo, hinting at the epic scale of the upcoming sequel.
Speaking about the sequel, Sohum Shah expressed his excitement and said, “Tumbbad has been a special journey and a labour of love for us, and to see the love it continues to receive is overwhelming and only ratifies our belief and ethos of Sohum Shah Films, that content is king.”
“With Tumbbad 2, we want to push the cinematic experience and boundaries even further. Tumbbad 2 will take audiences deeper into the world we’ve created, with bigger twists and a more intense exploration of what happens when greed knows no limits,” he further added.
Fans can expect Tumbbad 2 to dive deeper into the fantasy folklore as makers promise an even more gripping narrative that builds on the dark, mythical universe of Tumbbad. Further details are currently kept under wraps.
