Tumbbad became the first ever Indian film to open the prestigious Venice International Film Critic's week.
The movie was shot for six years. The scenes shown in the city of Tumbbad which gets rain throughout the year was shot over four monsoons.
Tumbbad, the city actually exists but the folklore is not present anywhere which is consistent with the theory that Hastar, the god demon would never be written about.
Film was shot at location where people had not visited for 100 years.
Director Rahi Anil Barve wrote the first draft for the movie in 1997, when he was just 18 years old.
