The film’s star and producer, Sohum Shah, expressed his excitement about the sequel in a statement released by the PR team. He said, “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.” Tumbabad has been a special journey and a labor of love for the team.
“With Tumbbad 2, we aim to further push the boundaries and cinematic experience. With larger surprises and a more intense investigation of what happens when greed has no bounds, Tumbbad 2 will take viewers further into the universe we’ve built,” he continued. On September 13, Tumbadd, which debuted in 2018, made a comeback to theaters.
