Sohum Shah announces 'Tumbbad 2' amid the re-release frenzy of the film

As Tumbbad returns to theaters after a six-year hiatus, produced by Sohum Shah Films, the excitement surrounding the film has skyrocketed, fueled by the official announcement of its sequel, Tumbbad 2. The re-release has not only rekindled the magic of this fantasy folklore classic but has also set new benchmarks with its impressive first-day box office numbers. Audiences across the country have warmly embraced the film, driving its re-release to unprecedented success.

In fact, Tumbbad broke its original box office records and made history by becoming the first Indian film to surpass the opening day collections of iconic films like Sholay, Mughal-e-Azam, and Rockstar during its re-release.

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.” As the teaser closes, the words “Pralay, Pralay phir aayega” echo, hinting at the epic scale of the upcoming sequel.

Sohum Shah, the actor and producer of the film, expressed his excitement: “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.”

Fans can expect Tumbbad 2 to dive deeper into the fantasy folklore that made the original a cult favorite. With the sequel, Pralay Aayega hints at impending catastrophe, the makers promise an even more gripping narrative that builds on the dark, mythical universe of Tumbbad.
