Amid persistent talk of follow-ups to his recent hits, director Jithu Madhavan has clarified that no sequels to Aavesham or Scene are in the works. Speaking at a press meet, Madhavan said Romancham 2 is the only sequel he has officially announced so far.
Madhavan described the chatter around the other two films as assumptions. “Aavesham 2 and Scene 2 are just assumptions. I haven’t announced them,” the director said. He drew a clear line between what has been announced and what audiences have inferred.
On Aavesham, Madhavan acknowledged that the idea of a sequel had come up at an earlier stage. He added that nothing concrete had followed, with no discussions or confirmations in place. The director said several factors need to be weighed before a sequel is made, and that any such project would have to be taken up at the right time. For now, Romancham 2 remains the only follow-up carrying his official stamp.
Aavesham, released in 2024, is a Malayalam action-comedy starring Fahadh Faasil as Ranga, a flamboyant gangster based in Bengaluru. The film follows three college students who seek out Ranga’s help after being bullied by their seniors, setting off a chain of chaotic events.
Scene, a Tamil crime-comedy thriller, stars Suriya, Nazriya Nazim and Naslen. The film centres on DSP Inbaraj, an eccentric police officer who is made to reopen a long-forgotten case and investigate a series of murders with the help of an unlikely team.
Madhavan‘s remarks come at a point when both films remain fresh in audience memory, with Aavesham a 2024 release and Scene a 2026 one. Madhavan has also responded to reports linking him with Dulquer Salmaan and Mamitha Baiju for his next film. Madhavan called the reports rumours and said he has not planned anything for his next project yet.
