Shah also revealed that even before Tumbbad's re-release, they were prepared with a healthy budget for the sequel.

"Even before the re-release of part 1, we were ready with a good budget. The producer called me and asked how much budget I wanted, but I told them there was no script."

"We struggled for six years and part 1 was released and became a hit; for people, box-office numbers don't matter," he added.
