Following Tumbbad’s Re-Release, Sohum Shah Announces ‘Tumbbad 2’

Sohum Shah has officially announced Tumbbad 2, following the successful re-release of Tumbbad in theatres after six years.

Taking to his Instagram account on Saturday (September 14)), Sohum made the announcement through a video teaser that features characters Vinayak and his son Pandurang, with a voiceover from Sohum Shah saying, “Samay ka pahiya gol hai, jo beet gaya woh fir laut ke aayega…darwaaza bhi ek baar phir khulega.”

The teaser ends with the ominous words, “Pralay, Pralay phir aayega,” hinting at a darker and larger-scale sequel.

Tumbbad shattered its original box office records upon re-release, even surpassing iconic films like ‘Sholay,’ ‘Mughal-e-Azam,’ and ‘Rockstar’ in terms of opening day collections.

In a statement shared by the PR team, Sohum Shah, who  starred in and produced the film, shared his excitement about the sequel, saying,”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 added.
