Actor-producer Sohum Shah and his banner, Sohum Shah Films, have officially announced their collaboration with Pen Studios, led by industry stalwart Mr. Jayantilal Gada, for the much-anticipated sequel, Tumbbad 2.
Released in 2018, Tumbbad broke new ground in Indian cinema, blending mythology, fantasy, and horror into a genre-defining masterpiece. While it began as a sleeper hit, the film went on to shatter box office expectations with its re-release last year. Over the years, it has achieved cult status globally, often cited as one of the finest Indian films in the genre, and continues to be celebrated at international festivals and by cinephiles across the world.
Now, with Tumbbad 2, the makers promise to take audiences deeper into the universe that redefined fantasy-horror in India. Backed by Pen Studios—renowned for delivering landmark blockbusters like RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi—the project is set to go on floors early next year.
Speaking about the collaboration, Actor and Producer Sohum Shah shared, “I have looked up to Jayantilal Gada ji’s work for many years. When I met him to discuss Tumbbad 2, within just five minutes he locked the deal. It’s the kind of faith every storyteller dreams of. The appreciation, respect, and love he showed towards Tumbbad made me realize the film had truly received its due.”
Dr. Jayantilal Gada, Founder & Chairman, Pen Studios, added: “Tumbbad was nothing short of a masterpiece, a truly exceptional cinematic journey that left a lasting impact. As we embark on the next chapter with Sohum Shah for Tumbbad 2, we are confident that the magic will once again captivate audiences. At Pen Studios, we are thrilled to continue this exciting journey with Sohum Shah Films and bring this incredible story to the big screen, elevating it to even greater heights.”
With Pen Studios lending its strength to the vision of Sohum Shah Films, Tumbbad 2 is directed by Aadesh Prasad and is positioned as one of the most exciting projects in the making. Fans can expect the sequel to carry forward the legacy of its predecessor while opening a new chapter in the cinematic universe of Tumbbad.
