Fresh reports surrounding the Tumbbad franchise have sparked major excitement among movie lovers, with claims suggesting that Alia Bhatt could be joining the critically acclaimed horror-fantasy universe. According to reports , the actress is reportedly being considered as the female lead for Tumbbad 3 and is also expected to make an extended appearance in Tumbbad 2.
As per reports, Alia Bhatt may shoot a 15-day extended cameo for Tumbbad 2, with her character reportedly playing an important role in the film’s larger narrative. Sources close to the development claim that her role will not be limited to a brief appearance, as the character is expected to become a central figure in Tumbbad 3, which is being described as the concluding chapter of the franchise trilogy.
The reports further suggest that Tumbbad 2 will reportedly serve as the introduction to her character before she transitions into a larger role alongside Sohum Shah in the third installment. If the reports prove accurate, this could mark a major addition to the expanding mythology of the Tumbbad universe.
The original Tumbbad, directed by Rahi Anil Barve and starring Sohum Shah, was released in 2018 and later achieved cult status because of its unique storytelling, mythology-inspired horror and visually rich world-building. Following its successful theatrical re-release, excitement around future installments has increased significantly among fans.
However, it is important to note that there has been no official confirmation from Alia Bhatt, Sohum Shah or the makers regarding her casting so far. Until an official announcement arrives, fans may want to treat the development as speculation.
