Actor-producer Sohum Shah, who is enjoying the response to the re-release of his fantasy horror film ‘Tumbbad’, has said that the upcoming second instalment of the film will be an intense exploration of greed knowing no limits.
‘Tumbbad’, which was released in 2018, harped on the theme of greed and linked it to the Marathi legend of Hastar.
Talking about the sequel to the film, Sohum Shah 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.”
The re-release of ‘Tumbbad’ has not only revived the magic of this fantasy folklore classic but has also set records with its first-day numbers. On its re-release, ‘Tumbbad’ surpassed its original box office numbers.
Adding to the frenzy, the announcement of Tumbbad 2 was made through a powerful video unit. 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”.
