The photos comprise Alia and Sohum candidly posing against a red background. While there were speculations of Alia joining the cast before, neither the makers nor Bhatt had confirmed the same. The official confirmation comes days after the release of YRF spy movie ALPHA, which was Alia’s last film.

Previous reports suggested that Alia’s role would be much more than a cameo. However, the details haven’t been confirmed yet. The makers have pointed out that the new ‘Tumbbad’ movie would be grander than its ancestor in scale and story.

There were speculations of the production team creating a massive 7 to 8 acres of setup in Mumbai, to recreate the atmosphere of the ‘Tumbbad’ world.

Previously, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was also announced as one of the key cast members of "Tumbbad 2." The folk horror film will be directed by Adesh Prasad. He had served as the co-director and writer on the original 2018 film. The new instalment is scheduled to release in theaters on December 3, 2027.

While Sohum Shah is working on “Tumbbad 2,” Alia Bhatt is also starring in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Love & War,” with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in leading roles.
