In a recent interview, actor and producer Sohum Shah has said that he is now working on ‘Tumbbad 2’. He has also said that this will be the story of Panduranga, the son of Vinayak.
But there is no news from Rahi Anil Barve yet. He is now caught up with two big projects with Prime Video and Netflix. One of the shows is ‘Gulkanda Tales’ and the other is ‘Rakt Brahmand’. And it is probable that if a sequel even comes, Rahi Anil Barve might not direct it. But there is doubt whether audiences will like it if anybody else helms the film for Barve has set a standard that is not easy to match. It could have been a different story with the same actors and the title of Tumbba as well. But as Sohum Shah says that the movie will now go on telling about the next generation and it will be curious to see whether Panduranga faces the same conflicts as his father Vinayaka.
This is very risky indeed. While Tumbbad is already a whole and complete story, stretching it to a next film might not prove to be very helpful. Or it might turn out to be the biggest blockbuster of the year as well. As it has an enviable word of mouth now and is the talk of almost every Indian house. It is also having great responses in the re-release, and this might spike up the curiosity for a sequel.
Sohum Shah also says that the second film will be not based on the theme of greed of gold but on the desire for immortality and he plans to make a trilogy out of it eventually.
