Tumbbad being a period film, it is set against the backdrop of a pre Independence era of Konkan in Maharashtra. To maintain the authenticity, the makers recreated the whole set to match the timeline.

The makers of the film not only recreated a doppelganger set of an old Pune city, they also made sure to provide every detail to make the set cast a vintage spell. Going by the chronology of the movie, vehicles, clothes, and props were arranged and made. Sohum Shah who will be playing the protagonist in the film will be seen donning the typical attire worn by Konkanasth Brahmans in Maharashtra, grabbing the essence of the character.
