Development:

Director Rahi Anil Barve said the title is derived from Shripad Narayan Pendse’s Marathi novel Tumbadche Khot. He write the first draft in 1997, when he was 18 years old. From 2009 to 2010, he created a 700-page storyboard within eight months, which he said was the “anchor on which everything was based.” Barve wrote the script based on a story his friend had told when they were in the Nagzira wildlife sanctuary in 1993 “which made him crap his pants.” It was a story by Marathi writer Narayan Dharap. Years later, when he revisited Dharap’s story, he found it “utterly bland, mundane and forgettable.” He realised “It was my friend’s narration … that left an indelible print- no, scar on my psyche” which “kept the story alive.” Barve took the story’s basic premise about a scheming moneylender and another of his works, about a girl left alone with her grandmother who is possesse a demon, and Start writing a screenplay. He managed to find a producer, but they backed out in 2008. He obtained financing and Film Shooting Started  in the monsoon of 2012.

The film shows Hastar who, according to mythology stated in the movie, was banished to the womb of the mother goddess for being greedy for food and gold. The film is divided in three chapters which Barve said was also a metaphor for the “journey of India, as we see it today.” It had gone on the floor three times and was optioned by seven production companies who backed out. Barve feels this was because he had “no frame of reference for them, nothing like Tumbbad had even been tried before.” Shah worked on his Marathi diction and accent since the character of Vinayak was a Marathi. Anand Gandhi served as the co-writer, creative director and executive producer. Barve’s initial idea was to tell three different stories of Tumbbad village in the film; Gandhi and Mitesh turned it into one person’s story. The myth of Hastar was the last addition to the story to serve as a backstory.

Film Shooting :

Tumbbad first went into production in 2008 with Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead role but was quickly shelved as the producer backed out. It was then shot in 2012 after Shah and Gandhi came on board. The film has minimal dialogue and was shot with constant physical movement with few cuts. Barve said, “we shot in the rain at age-old locations, where no human had ventured for at least a hundred years. For me, Tumbbad’s locations, the feel of its stuffy air, and the lonely rainy atmosphere that defies the feeling of time’s passage is as central as its characters.”After the editing, Barve and Shah realised the film was “not able to achieve what it set out to do.” It was then re-written and re-shot and the filming completed in May 2015. The Mutha River in the Onkareshwar area was taken as a reference for the set creation. In three weeks, the set of the small town around the temple was recreated. A doppelganger set of an old Pune city was created for the film. Sohum Shah wore the typical attire worn by Konkanasth Brahmans in Maharashtra. It was shot in natural light. Some scenes were also shot in Mahabaleshwar and the Tumbbad village. The visual effects were producer is Sean Wheelan’s team at Filmgate Films, who were also the co-producers. Pankaj Kumar served as the director of photography and Sanyukta Kaza edited the film. Kumar had shot Barve’s short film Manjha in 2006 and learned of Tumbbad’s story from Barve.

Post-production:

The film’s post-production took two-and-a-half years to complete. Kaza had asked Prasad to write the dialogues again after she re-arranged the grandmother’s tree scene while editing it. She used the “only usable stable shots and put them in a certain order and then called Adesh and asked him to re-write the dialogues according to the edit.”  The film’s climax inside the womb was shot with only one source of light—an oil lamp. The film was producer  Film i Väst and Filmgate Films along with Eros International and Aanand L. Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions.
