Talking about the decision, Sohum Shah said, “The film is set in the pre-Independence era. A lot of pre-production time and research was invested in recreating the exact village. In order to give the set an authentic look, we sourced various artifacts, tools and vehicles of that decade which was a very challenging task to get the exact details correct. We got the parts of an old BMW from across the world, created a bus during those days so that everything looks genuine.”
Tumbbad questions the roots of human greed and thirst to conquer the hidden treasure.
The trailer of the film has left the audience gripped as it presents an interesting mixture of mythology, fantasy and thriller leaving everyone with a lot of questions.
Directed by Aanand L Rai and co-produced by Filmi Väst and Filmgate Films, Tumbbad is set to release on 12 October 2018.
