Tumbbad 2 Alia Bhatt:
This is floating around right now — Alia Bhatt is reportedly part of Tumbbad 2.
and honestly… it’s a bit of a curveball.
because Tumbbad wasn’t exactly a “big star” kind of film when it came out. it was quiet, eerie, kinda uncomfortable in places… the kind of movie that slowly built a cult following instead of exploding at the box office. people didn’t just watch it, they discovered it.
which is why this sequel already felt risky.
and now adding Alia into the mix? that changes the vibe a little, at least on paper.
not saying it’s a bad thing. she’s easily one of the most interesting mainstream actors right now — she does take risks, she’s not stuck doing the same thing over and over. so it’s not like she’d feel completely out of place in a darker, stranger world like Tumbbad.
but still… you don’t immediately picture her there, you know?
and maybe that’s what’s making people curious.
there’s also that small worry sitting in the background — the first film worked because it felt so raw and specific. it didn’t try to be for everyone. it just told its story in its own weird, haunting way.
so now the question is… does bringing in a big name change that?
like, does it stay creepy and grounded, or does it get a bit more polished, a bit more “accessible”? because that happens sometimes with sequels — especially when they suddenly get more attention.
also, we barely know anything right now. no clear plot details, no idea what role she’d even play, not even full confirmation yet. just reports and a lot of speculation.
which, honestly, is only making it more interesting.
because Tumbbad 2 was already one of those “okay, let’s see how they pull this off” kind of projects.
but now? people who weren’t even thinking about it are paying attention.
if this ends up being real and they manage to keep that same eerie tone while expanding the story… it could actually work really well.
or it could lose what made the first one special.
either way, this is one of those updates that makes you stop scrolling for a second.
and yeah… now we wait and see what Tumbbad 2 actually turns into.
