Sohum Shah on Tumbbad: Difficult to categorise it under one genre; It’s like a thali where every dish is delicious

Firstpost  

Sohum Shah is devoid of any pretences. It was Aamir Khan who had said in Three Idiots that whatever you intend to do in life, do it with 100 per cent devotion and success will follow suit.” Sohum is back again in the spotlight with his film, Tumbbad. To me, it’s like an Indian thali where every dish served is delicious.” Tumbbad has been in the making for six years and the journey that began in 2012 will culminate this week. “The only idea was to make a music video with the sole intention of lest someone spot me in the music video and offer a chance to act in films.” He adds that most of the people live in an illusion that they control life while the truth is it’s the other way. I don’t see such films consciously as I don’t get sleep for next three days.” So did he get scared at any point while shooting for the film?
