Sohum Shah, who was highly praised for his performance in ‘Ship of Theseus’, has undergone a striking physical transformation for his next film, ‘Tumbad’.

Produced by Recyclewala Films, it also marks the directorial debut of Rahi Anil Barve whose short film 'Manjha' was released by Danny Boyle with the 'Slumdog Millionare' Blu-Ray. Some portions of ‘Tumbad’, which is scheduled to release worldwide next year, were screened at the NFDC Film Bazaar in Goa last year, where it was hailed a visual masterpiece by those present
