The update arrived on the heels of the original film’s remarkable performance with its 2024 re-release. 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.

“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,” he said.
‘Tumbbad’ originally opened in theatres in 2018, bringing the story of Vinayak Rao (Sohum Shah) who navigates through the ominous night, lantern in hand, alongside his young son. The two are seen on a perilous journey, hinting at the dangerous quest that drives the narrative. It follows Vinayak Rao’s descent into greed and obsession as he seeks out a mythical treasure guarded by the malevolent entity Hastar.
Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, the film was written by Mitesh Shah, Prasad, Barve, and Gandhi.
The sequel has been in the making for several years now, with the team likely moving closer to begin production. (ANI)
