The sequel to Tumbbad, titled Tumbbad 2, has been officially scheduled for release on December 3 2027. The announcement was made by the makers through a poster shared on social media. The visual featured statues of three figures along with the film’s title and release date. It also carried the tagline ‘Pralay aayega (Apocalypse will arrive).’
The film marks the return of Sohum Shah, who was also part of the original. Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has also joined the cast. The announcement follows earlier promotional material such as a motion poster, which had created interest around the project.
Sharing the update, Sohum Shah wrote, “A sinful past, an ominous future. The hunger rises, the legacy of greed continues.” He also spoke about the direction of the sequel, stating, “Tumbbad has always been very special to me, and with Tumbbad 2, the idea is to take that world forward in a way that feels deeper and more expansive. We are building on the mythology and the atmosphere that audiences connected with, while exploring new layers within the story. It’s something that will feel familiar in its essence, but also new in the way it unfolds.”
The film is directed by Adesh Prasad. Speaking about the project, he said, “Taking this story forward has been both exciting and challenging, especially because the first film has such a strong identity. Our focus has been on retaining that soul while pushing the narrative and visual world further. We’re trying to create something that feels rooted in the original, but at the same time offers audiences a fresh and immersive experience.”
The original film Tumbbad released in 2018 and was directed by Rahi Anil Bharve. It received positive critical response but did not perform well commercially at that time. Over the years, it gained a strong following and was re released in 2025, after which it achieved better box office results. The sequel was announced following that renewed interest.
Tumbbad 2 is produced under Sohum Shah Films in association with Pen Studios, with distribution handled by Pen Marudhar.
