The highly anticipated horror sequel, Tumbbad 2, is officially set to hit cinemas on December 3, 2027, as announced today by actor-producer Sohum Shah. The film promises to expand the folk horror universe with enhanced scope and grandeur.
Cast and Crew Details
Tumbbad 2 is directed by Adesh Prasad and produced by Sohum Shah Films in collaboration with Aanand L. Rai‘s Color Yellow Productions and Pen Studios. Sohum Shah returns to reprise his role from the original, while acclaimed actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui joins the cast for this sequel.
The announcement arrives nearly nine years after the original 2018 release, which earned cult status for its atmospheric storytelling and unique folk horror approach. The first film’s successful theatrical re-release in 2024 reinforced audience demand for a continuation of the story.
What to Expect from the Sequel
The narrative foundation remains rooted in the cursed village of Tumbbad, where an ancestral prohibition forbids the worship of Hastar—the greedy firstborn of the Goddess of Prosperity. Banished for attempting to claim all the world’s gold, Hastar’s legend drives the story forward.
The original film followed Vinayak Rao, who discovered hidden treasure within his family’s decaying estate and faced the consequences of his greed. Tumbbad 2 is expected to delve deeper into the mythology while exploring new dimensions of the horror that made the first film a genre-defining success in Indian cinema.
With a December 2027 release date locked, the film gives the team substantial time for production and post-production, essential for delivering the visual and narrative quality that audiences expect from the franchise.
