The Tumbbad sequel has officially begun its journey, as Sohum Shah Films teams up with Dr. Jayantilal Gada’s Pen Studios for a fantasy-horror spectacle on a grand scale. 

The original Tumbbad (2018) carved a special place in Indian cinema, blending folklore, mythology, and horror into a genre-defining masterpiece. Over the years, it has only grown into a cult classic, acclaimed at international festivals and celebrated by cinephiles across the world. Its re-release last year further cemented its place as a landmark film, shattering box office expectations.

Now, with Tumbbad 2, the makers aim to take the story to an even grander level. As per a source close to the film, “This collaboration between Pen Studios and Sohum Shah Films isn’t just about bringing back a cult classic — it’s about taking the vision to the next level. Tumbbad 2 is designed on a grand canvas with a production budget of over Rs 150 crore plus, making it one of the most ambitious fantasy-horror projects in Indian cinema. It’s a big film, a huge collaboration, and one that reflects the shared commitment to scale, storytelling, and creating a cinematic experience that will resonate globally.”

With Pen Studios’ legacy of delivering hits like RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi, combined with the creative vision of Sohum Shah Films, Tumbbad 2 is set to open an exciting new chapter in the franchise’s universe. The project is expected to go on the floors early next year.
