Alia Bhatt is reportedly poised to make a special appearance in the much-anticipated sequel to Tumbbad, known as Tumbbad 2. The film is currently in production in Mumbai, and her involvement is expected to entail a brief yet significant role. Industry insiders suggest that although Bhatt’s screen time will be limited, her character could play a crucial part in advancing the plot.

According to a report by Mid-Day, the film’s creators were keen to find a performer who could deliver both impact and depth within a brief timeframe. Alia Bhatt was identified as an excellent match for this requirement, given her star power and acting prowess.

Plot and Themes of Tumbbad 2

Tumbbad 2 aims to further delve into the dark mythology introduced in the original film, particularly revolving around the cursed deity Hastar. The narrative is said to explore the repercussions of invoking forces that are considered unsuitable for worship, thereby continuing the eerie atmosphere established in Tumbbad.

As production has commenced on April 7, 2026, there is significant excitement surrounding the scale of the project, which boasts a vast set extending across 7 to 8 acres, crafted to resemble a complete city. This ambitious undertaking has heightened anticipation among fans and critics alike.

Reportedly, Alia Bhatt’s scenes are being filmed in Madh Island, where elaborate sets have been set up. She is anticipated to participate in shooting for two days. Additionally, Bhatt’s schedule will involve attending the Met Gala 2026 on May 4, prompting the possibility of employing a body double for some scenes to accommodate her commitments.

The production of Tumbbad 2 is spearheaded by Sohum Shah through his own production company, Sohum Shah Films, in collaboration with Pen Studios, led by Dr. Jayantilal Gada. The distribution of the film is managed by Pen Marudhar, ensuring a broad reach upon its release.

As of now, an official confirmation regarding Alia Bhatt’s participation in the project is still pending. Nonetheless, the film is officially scheduled for release on December 3, 2027, with ongoing developments poised to keep stakeholders and audiences engaged in the lead-up to its debut.

The excitement surrounding Tumbbad 2 is palpable, driven by both its intriguing plotline and the high-profile cast. While the details regarding Alia Bhatt’s character remain under wraps, her presence in a pivotal role is expected to evoke substantial interest when the film finally reaches cinemas.
