PODCAST| Nicolò Comotti interviews Rahi Anil Barve, Adesh Prasad and Sohum Sha, directors and producer of the film Tumbbad.
Rahi Anil Barve, Adesh Prasad and Sohum Sha talk to us about their years and years together on the set of Tumbbad, an epic mythological action film that defies any genre without sacrificing its entertaining soul. Tumbbad is here in Venice in the International Critics Week section.
Tumbbad: India, 19th century: on the outskirts of a decrepit village called Tumbbad lives Vinayak, the stubborn, conniving bastard son of the village lord, obsessed with a mythical ancestral treasure. He suspects the secret lies with his great-grandmother, a cursed witch sleeping for centuries. Confronting her finally puts him face to face with the guardian of the treasure, an evil fallen god. What starts with a few gold coins, quickly spirals into a reckless, perpetual yearning, spanning decades. Vinayak’s greed keeps escalating until he unearths the biggest secret of all, something more valuable than the treasure itself.
