EXCLUSIVE: As Tumbbad Completes 1 Year, Sohum Shah REVEALS The Idea Of Having Prequel/Sequel

Exactly a year ago, a horror film called Tumbbad hit the theatre screens and the audience was mind-blown with its story, direction, performances and outstanding VFX. The film stars Sohum Shah in the lead role. Tumbbad directed by Rahil Anil Barve and the story was written by Rahil along with Prasad, Mitesh Shah and Anand Gandhi.

The horror seen in Tumbbad was something the audience never witnessed before. It’s a story of Hastar, Vinayak aka Sohum’s greed and the destruction it causes in the end. Even a year later, we won’t give away any spoilers because the film is one of the beautiful cinemas ever made and everyone should experience it. To make every scene look exquisite, the makers worked on its VFX and technicalities for 6 years. Thus, the journey has been quite long.

As today it’s #1YearofTumbbad, we spoke to Sohum Shah regarding the film. Along with playing the lead role, he also produced the film. Read the interview below:

It’s one year of Tumbbad. How does it feel? Do people still share their thoughts on the film on social media?

Yes, I’m quite nostalgic. A year ago, everything was happening so fast. It took a long time for this film to happen. It has been an incredible journey. People still write to me on social media, they thank me for making Tumbbad. A lot of people also, tell me that they feel sad that couldn’t watch it in the theatre as they feel it’s something to be experienced on the big screen.

After the success, you announced there will be a prequel to the film. Tell us about it?

We have both the ideas, of a prequel and sequel. We haven’t locked it yet whether we want a prequel or a sequel. We are looking for a good story. I don’t want to make something just because Tumbbad is a success. I want a great story and the day I find it, I will start working on it. So it’s not decided whether it’s a prequel or sequel.
