Seven years later, after being called a ‘cult classic’, it was re-released in theatres, where it became the most successful Bollywood re-release of recent times, minting ₹38 crore, and finally becoming a box-office hit. The film was a small-scale folk horror tale. But it seems the makers of the sequel are going for a grand scale.About Tumbbad 2Apart from Sohum, the sequel also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui. In a statement shared alongside his casting announcement earlier this month, the actor said, “Tumbbad has always been a film I admired for its originality and atmospheric storytelling. When Sohum shared the vision for the sequel, I liked the story and joined them on their journey. Collaborating with Sohum Shah and Pen Studios on a project of this scale is truly exciting. The character I’ll be portraying has many layers, and I’m looking forward to exploring this immersive universe with such a passionate team.”Backed by Sohum Shah Films and Pen Studios, the film is slated to go on floors later this year.
