Sohum Shah was cast in the role of Vinayak Rao, for which he gained eight kilograms (eighteen pounds).[9] Since the production took six years, he maintained his character's look for the entire period.[10] Shah said that he was surprised after hearing the story for the time because he "hadn't seen anything like this in Indian cinema."[11] He found it similar to Vikram Baital and Panchatantra.[12] Barve said the story's main theme was greed, and that the first half hour of the film is in the "universe of Dharap's stories."[13] The film shows Hastar who, according to mythology stated in the movie, was banished to the womb of the mother goddess for being greedy for food and gold.[13] The film is divided in three chapters which Barve said was also a metaphor for the "journey of India, as we see it today."[13] It had gone on the floor three times and was optioned by seven production companies who backed out. Barve feels this was because he had "no frame of reference for them, nothing like Tumbbad had even been tried before."[13] Shah worked on his Marathi diction and accent since the character of Vinayak was a Marathi.[14] Anand Gandhi served as the co-writer, creative director and executive producer.[15] Barve's initial idea was to tell three different stories of Tumbbad village in the film; Gandhi and Mitesh turned it into one person's story.[16] The myth of Hastar was the last addition to the story to serve as a backstory.[16] The screenplay was written by Barve, Prasad, Gandhi and Mitesh Shah.[17]
