Is Tumbbad 2 Different from Stree 2 and Munjya? Sohum Shah Reveals All. Sohum Shah, the actor and producer of the critically acclaimed film Tumbbad, has firmly confirmed that the script for Tumbbad 2 is finalized. He emphasized that Tumbbad 2 will continue to explore traditional folklore, clearly distinguishing itself from modern supernatural tales like Stree 2 or Munjya in the Maddock Supernatural Universe films. In a recent interview, Shah confidently discussed the distinct differences between these cinematic worlds.
A Return to Traditional Folklore
Shah made it clear that Tumbbad 2 will stay rooted in ancient folklore, just like its predecessor. The original Tumbbad was set in a rural village in Maharashtra and focused on the mythological tale of Hastar, a demon god. This setting and storyline sharply contrast with the Maddock Supernatural Universe, which includes films like Stree and Munjya. These films are set in relatively modern times and draw inspiration from contemporary village legends and urban myths.
When questioned by India Today about whether the triumph of the Maddock Supernatural Universe facilitated the approval of Tumbbad 2. Shah promptly clarified that the two universes are fundamentally distinct. He emphasized that the Maddock films center on more recent folklore, often referred to as “dadi-nani ki kahaniyaan” (grandmother’s tales), while Tumbbad delves into ancient mythological narratives.
The production of Tumbbad faced numerous challenges, including significant delays due to the specific weather conditions required for filming. Despite these obstacles, the film eventually gained widespread acclaim and appreciation upon its re-release. This resurgence of interest has set the stage for the sequel, which is poised to delve even deeper into the rich tapestry of Indian mythology.
What to Expect from Tumbbad 2
The details about the plot of Tumbbad 2 are still under wraps. Shah has hinted that the sequel will continue to explore the dark and eerie world introduced in the first film. Fans can expect a narrative that is rich in traditional folklore. Offering a unique cinematic experience that stands apart from the modern supernatural tales of the Maddock Universe.
