Exciting news for fans came with the confirmation of Tumbbad 2 by the creators. Sohum Shah, the star of the original, teased fans with a glimpse of the trailer on social media, cryptically captioned "Pralay Aayega" (The apocalypse is coming).

The teaser opens with a haunting voiceover from Vinayak Rao, "Samay ka pahiya gol hai, jo beet gaya woh hamesha laut ke aata hai" (Life moves in circles. What goes around, comes around). This ominous statement sets the tone for what promises to be another spine-chilling adventure.

While the release date for Tumbbad 2 has not yet been announced, details about its plot remain largely under wraps. However, reports suggest that the sequel will follow Pandurang, Vinayak's son, and explore themes of immortality. Currently in pre-production, the script is still being finalised.
