Tumbbad is one of the most unconventional horror films which is based on the folktales of the hinterlands of Maharashtra. It has remained one of the constant fan favourites despite having released two years ago. The film has been trending on Twitter and the craze for the movie seems to have picked up again. On that note, actor Sohum Shah took to his Twitter account to express his happiness.

Tumbbad trends again on Twitter

Actor Sohum Shah, who played the lead in the movie, took to his Twitter to share his happiness that Tumbbad is trending once again on social media. In the post, he wrote how it was a pleasant surprise to see Tumbbad was trending first thing in the morning. He also added that he felt great to see the "labour of love" is still being enjoyed by the audience. Take a look here:

The Tumbbad actor also wished it was easier to make films with such "deep-rooted impact". However, Tumbbad took as long as six years to make. This was because of its formation, with four colour scheming and the indefectible lighting the film. But still, Tumbbad is a "work of passion". 

Sohum Shah also revealed how it took the makers four monsoons to shoot the heavy rain sequences. This was done to make the scenes look authentic and convincing. He also said how the movie has a "gripping script" which keeps the audience on the edge. The film is a fine specimen of the "amalgamation of mythology, suspense and horror".  

Here are some of the tweets from the Twitterverse about Tumbbad from today
