Actor Sohum Shah on Tumbbad’s re-release

In a conversation with ABP Live, actor and producer Sohum Shah spoke about ‘Tumbbad’ re-release and said, “What we’ve done, if you’re appreciating it and talking about it, that’s more than enough for us. Our intention was purity—making the film as purely as we could. The right actor had to be in it, the right story had to be told. Whether there’s a star or not doesn’t matter. Films that rely solely on stars don’t work outside, and even here the landscape is changing drastically. Maybe Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are the last of the big stars. No one else has that kind of fan following because content has become king. Perhaps we were ahead of our time, but we were on the right path.”
