The world of Tumbbad is officially expanding, and it’s getting a major Hollywood makeover. Following the massive success of the original film’s re-release, actor-producer Sohum Shah has confirmed that the sequel, Tumbbad 2, will feature a powerhouse cast and a world-class technical team.
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the industry, the makers have reportedly roped in legendary prosthetic and creature designers who have worked on some of the biggest global franchises, including Star Wars and Harry Potter.
A Global Team for a Local Legend
The sequel aims to blend rooted Indian folklore with international production standards. To achieve this, the production has enlisted:
Shaune Harrison: A veteran prosthetic designer whose resume includes the entire Harry Potter series, Star Wars, and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Simon Lee (Spiderzero): A renowned creature designer known for his work on Godzilla vs. Kong and Pacific Rim.
A source close to the project stated, “Given the mythology-heavy nature of Tumbbad, the sequel demands a deeper visual language. Bringing Shaune and Simon on board allows us to blend traditional storytelling with world-class creature design.”
Nawazuddin Siddiqui Joins the Hunt
Adding to the excitement is the official casting of Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Known for his intense and versatile performances, Siddiqui will play a “pivotal and layered” character alongside Sohum Shah.
In an official statement, Nawazuddin expressed his admiration for the franchise:
“Tumbbad has always been a film I admired for its originality. When Sohum shared the vision for the sequel, I immediately liked the story. The character I’ll be portraying has many layers, and I’m looking forward to exploring this immersive universe.”
Sohum Shah, who returns as the lead and producer, welcomed the actor, noting that Nawazuddin’s presence will bring an “unmatched intensity” to the narrative.
What to Expect from the Sequel
Produced by Sohum Shah Films in association with Pen Studios, Tumbbad 2 is expected to delve deeper into the themes of greed and immortality. While the plot remains under wraps, the involvement of the “Thamma” (the grandmother from the first film) and the expansion of the “Hastar” mythos are heavily rumored.
The film is slated to begin production shortly, with a vision to create a cinematic experience that is even more terrifying and visually stunning than the first. To know such latest updates tuned tellyboosters.com Thank you!
