Sohum Shah: Hollywood VFX Still Astound

Sohum Shah, an actor and filmmaker, has recently been re-examining iconic Hollywood productions, finding new appreciation for their technical achievements, particularly their visual effects. Films like 'Jurassic Park,' 'Terminator,' and 'The Lord of the Rings' have captured his attention, impressing him with their scale and execution, especially when considering the technology available at the time of their release.

Shah acknowledged that international cinema was not a significant part of his early viewing habits, admitting to having watched only a few Hindi-dubbed international titles. However, his engagement with acting and filmmaking has broadened his cinematic palate. He views watching films as an essential creative process, vital for inspiration and discovering diverse storytelling approaches.

The actor expressed a desire to visit the sets of filmmakers like James Cameron, citing his admiration for the 'Terminator' franchise and the ambitious filmmaking of 'Jurassic Park' and 'The Lord of the Rings'.

Looking ahead, Sohum Shah is gearing up for the sequel to his 2018 horror-fantasy film 'Tumbbad.' Titled 'Tumbbad 2' (also known as 'PralayAayega'), the film is slated for theatrical release on December 3, 2027, marking his return to the acclaimed 'Tumbbad' universe.
