Sohum Shah on cooking up Tumbbad 2 while Munjya and Stree 2 rake in fame; ‘They aren’t just spinning grandma’s yarns’

Lights, Camera, Action! Bollywood Newshound Nisha is here to spill the beans with a twist! 🎬🍿

Alright, darlings, gather ’round because your favorite Bollywood snoop has some piping hot tea for you! Guess who’s cooking up some cinematic magic again? None other than our very own Sohum Shah, who recently dropped the bomb about Tumbbad 2! 🌪️ Oh yes, you heard that right. After the first film’s re-release had everyone buzzing, Sohum is all set to dive back into the eerie world of folklore and demons.

In a chat with Hindi Movie News, our man Sohum couldn’t stop gushing about what makes Tumbbad so unique. And let’s be real, sweetie, he’s got a point! Unlike the likes of Stree and Munjya, Tumbbad isn’t just another spooky tale for bedtime. "They’re not making dadi-nani ki kahaniyaan," he declared. Translation: This isn’t your grandma’s ghost story, folks! 👻

When quizzed about the ease of creating Tumbbad 2 given the success of similar horror-comedies, Sohum was quick to set the record straight. “Those films are different. None of them are like Tumbbad,” he asserted. And honestly, who can argue with that? With its time-period setting and demonic elements, Tumbbad is in a league of its own. 🏰👿

Sohum couldn’t contain his gratitude for the audience’s unwavering support. The re-release of Tumbbad is killing it at the box office, raking in nearly Rs 1.50 crore on its opening day, which is triple what it made initially. Talk about a comeback! 💸💥

And guess what? Sohum is not just acting; he’s producing this gem too. He let slip that the pre-production for Tumbbad 2 is already underway. They’re finalizing the script and seeking the right backing to bring this eerie sequel to life. Oh, the suspense! 🎬📜

For those living under a rock, the first Tumbbad was based on Maharashtrian folklore and shot on location in Maharashtra. The project faced countless delays and script rewrites before finally seeing the light of day, thanks to the relentless efforts of Sohum, Aanand L Rai, and their team. The film was directed by Rahi Anil Barve with Adesh Prasad as the co-director. Kudos to them for sticking it out! 👏

So, what’s the moral of the story here, my lovelies? Well, let’s wrap it up in Nisha’s Nutshell:

Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, patience isn’t just a virtue; it’s a survival skill. And remember, not all horror stories are created equal. Some are just grandmama’s tales, while others, like Tumbbad, are legends in the making! 🌟

That’s all the gossip for today, my Bollywood buffs. Stay tuned for more juicy updates from yours truly! 💃🕺
