The actor completed the first schedule of the film earlier this year. After wrapping up his international tour, Nawazuddin is back to work, beginning the next schedule in the city of seven forts, Satara.
A source close to the team reveals, “After touring across the US with his stage play Naqaab alongside his daughter, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has now started shooting for the next schedule of Tumbbad 2 .
