'Tumbbad 2' To Be Made In 100 Crore Budget

Mumbai, March 8 - The sequel to the period folk horror film Tumbbad is getting bigger, thanks to the success of the first film's re-release last year. After largely going unnoticed in the first phase, the movie turned the tide in its repeat run at the box office, raising the anticipation of its sequel.

Produced and frontend by Sohum Shah, Tumbbad 2 has already been announced. According to the latest reports, a few production studios are showing interest in it and are willing to provide the budget the makers may not have imagined.



It is said that Shah has secured a 100-crore budget from a leading studio to make the sequel of this cult classic. Interestingly, Tumbbad, which was originally released in 2018, struggled to get the finances and was made on a low budget but things are a lot different this time around.

The story of Tumbbad 2 is said to have locked and the pre-production has already started. It will go on floors later this year for 2026 release in theatres worldwide. Director Rahi Anil Barve is expected to return to direct the sequel with Sohum Shah headlining it.

Tumbbad, which follows the story of a person's search for a hidden 20th-century treasure in the Indian village of Tumbbad, Maharashtra, grossed over 52 crores at the worldwide box office, including around 38 crores gross domestically in its re-release run. It is the second highest-grossing re-release title in India.
