Here's all you need to know...

Actor Sohum Shah has been working on Tumbbad for 6 years to make his vision a reality. As it took 6 years for Tumbbad to complete, Sohum had to maintain the same physique and look for that duration. Sohum is a national award-winning filmmaker and his body of work has critically acclaimed films like Ship of Theseus, Talvar and Simran.

Sohum worked for Simran and Talvar in this span of 6 years but still maintained his shape and look for Tumbbad and gave 6 years of dedication to his role. The actor is seen donning the typical attire worn by Konkanasth Brahmans in Maharashtra, with quintessential earpiece and a mustache sporting an ancient look

Tumbad is Sohum's second production post Ship of Theseus which has won the 61st National Award for the Best Feature Film. Sohum is someone who has got an unconventional approach towards his work and believes in the craft more than his vanity. 

The actor is very well known for his power-packed performance in Talvar, where he essayed the character of ACP Vedant Mishra. Sohum Shah has time and again treated the audiences with his hard-hitting and realistic characters as he believes in opting for author-backed roles instead of portraying larger than life characters on screen. 

Sohum Shah was last seen in Simran in which his work was not just critically praised but even the audience loved his character
