Tumbbad 2, the highly anticipated sequel to one of India’s most celebrated horror films, is set to arrive in cinemas on December 3, 2027, a slot recently dominated by big-ticket entertainers. The first film was initially a flop at the box office, but over the years, it gained cult status among audiences. Later, the folk horror thriller was re-released in theatres, and the repeat run struck gold, earning over Rs. 30 crores.
The re-release instilled confidence in makers to proceed with the sequel. Aadesh Prasad, who worked as the co-director for the first film, directed the sequel headlined by Sohum Shah. Nimisha Sajayan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui play key roles. The makers state that the sequel expands on the story and scale, while staying true to the original’s tonality.
The team will blend mythology and horror elements while also exploring new layers within the story. Sohum Shah Films is co-producing Tumbbad 2 along with Jayantilal Gada’s Pen Studios. Pen Marudhar will distribute the film.
