Tummbad 2: The long-awaited sequel to Tumbbad is officially in the works, as Sohum Shah Films teams up with Dr. Jayantilal Gada’s Pen Studios to bring forth one of Indian cinema’s most visionary fantasy-horror spectacles yet.
The original Tumbbad (2018) left an indelible mark on Indian filmmaking — a chilling blend of folklore, myth, and visual poetry that redefined the horror genre. Over time, it transcended its cult status, becoming a modern classic revered by global audiences and celebrated across major international film circuits.
Its anniversary re-release last year reignited that fascination, drawing in both old fans and new viewers, and exceeding all expectations at the box office. Now, Tumbbad 2 promises to raise the bar — expanding the narrative universe while diving deeper into its dark, mythological undercurrents.
A source close to the development revealed to Koimoi, “This collaboration between Pen Studios and Sohum Shah Films isn’t just about bringing back a cult classic — it’s about taking the vision to the next level. Tumbbad 2 is designed on a grand canvas with a production budget of over Rs 100 crores, making it one of the most ambitious fantasy-horror projects in Indian cinema. It’s a big film, a huge collaboration, and one that reflects the shared commitment to scale, storytelling, and creating a cinematic experience that will resonate globally.”
With Pen Studios’ track record of delivering cinematic powerhouses like RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Sohum Shah’s relentless creative drive, Tumbbad 2 is poised to open a darker, more expansive chapter in the franchise’s mythology. Cameras are expected to roll in early 2026, setting the stage for what could become a genre-defining milestone.
