Work has begun on the sequel to the critically-acclaimed Tumbbad (2018). Sohum Shah, who produced and acted in the horror fantasy, informs that the team is trying to crack an idea, but it will take time. “Our aim is to make it as good as the first one, if not better,” says Shah. The 2018 film, directed by Rahi Anil Barve, earned rave reviews and has since found a loyal fan-following.

Shah, who had produced and acted in the horror-fantasy, said he is flooded with requests to take the film`s universe ahead with a franchise but he won`t do anything to simply cash in on its popularity. "The writing for `Tumbbad 2` is on, we had cracked a few story ideas too but they didn`t quite work at the screenplay level. But I am in no rush to cash in on the franchise or worry that `what if people forget.` "I am not playing that game. The team is trying to crack an idea. Our aim is to make it as good as the first one, if not better. We need to get convinced with the idea first before we proceed," Shah told PTI.
