Sohum Shah, an entrepreneur-actor, known for his vision for storytelling and unique cinematic choices, is all set to experiment with a completely different genre in his next project. After the roaring success of Tumbbad, which became a cult classic and the highest-grossing re-release in India with a cumulative ₹50 crores at the box office, Sohum is gearing up to surprise audiences with Crazxy.
Talking about the project, Sohum says, “It’s in the post-production stage and will be released in March 2025. It’s an ‘atrangi’ film and completely different from Tumbbad. (Laughs) And I’m wearing a coat in it, instead of a dhoti.” While he didn’t share too many details, the motion poster of Crazxy has already intrigued fans with its bold and unique style.
Sohum’s work as a producer reflects his commitment to create ‘new mainstream cinema’ which holistically gives the audiences a cinematic experience, unique storytelling, and a new perspective with each project. His production house, Sohum Shah Films, achieved a milestone with the re-release of Tumbbad in September 2024, which tripled its original box office revenue from 2018. With this success under his belt, he’s now preparing to take the audience on another exciting journey with Crazxy.
Adding to the buzz is the announcement of Tumbbad 2, which has already sparked excitement among fans. With Crazxy set to release on March 7, 2025, and Tumbbad 2 in the pipeline, Sohum Shah is proving once again that his passion for cinema knows no bounds. Whether it’s folklore horror or something “atrangi,” Sohum continues to create films that push the envelope and keep audiences hooked.
