Tumbbad is undoubtedly one of the finest horror films ever made in India. The film, starring Sohum Shah, was released in theaters in 2018. Although it received excellent reviews from critics, it struggled to attract audiences. However, the movie gained the recognition it deserved when it was released on OTT platforms. Now, Tumbbad is set to return to theaters, and the makers are hopeful it will receive the appreciation it truly deserves.
Sohum Shah On Tumbbad Ahead Of Its Re-Release
The actor, who played protagonist Viinayak Rao said, "People realised the value of this film after it was released on OTT. Iss film ke saath nainsaafi hui thi, woh haq hai jo iss baar milna chaahiye."
He added, "Yeh film aisi hai jise log theatres mein hi experience karna chaahte hain. This is not an OTT type film, especially given the kind of sound and VFX it has. It is larger than life."
