Tumbbad sequel takes a backseat

Tumbbad was one of the surprise hits of 2018, which enthralled audiences with its rich storyline, spectacular cinematography and brilliant performances. Directed by Rahi Anil Barve and presented by Aanand L Rai, the movie had Sohum Shah headlining the cast, along with producing it.

Right after the sleeper success of the film, rumours were rife that the makers wanted to develop Tumbbad as a franchise and that the work on Tumbbad 2 would begin soon.


However, if Sohum Shah is to be believed, the sequel to Tumbbad has taken a backseat for some time. “We want to make Tumbbad 2. We are looking for a writer. There is an idea that we want to develop. But there are also a couple of other things I want to make. I am focused on those. So for now, Tumbbad (2) is on the backseat. We are working on it but I am taking it slow,” said Shah.

He further added, “I am in love with what I made, so I definitely want to make Tumbbad 2. But there are some straightforward stories that I want to tell. These will rejuvenate me and give me the strength and push to make Tumbbad 2”.

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
