Director Jithu Madhavan has put an end to speculation about sequels to his recent films. Speaking to the media at a press meet in Kochi for Scene, the filmmaker clarified that there are currently no officially confirmed plans for second instalments of either Suriya-starrer Scene or Fahadh Faasil’s Aavesham, and that Romancham remains the only project for which a sequel has been formally announced.
‘Only Romancham has had its sequel officially announced. Everything else is speculation. Whether it is Aavesham or Scene, there has been no announcement of a second part,’ Jithu said, according to Filmfare. He explained that the endings of Scene and Aavesham were deliberately designed to leave room for their stories to continue, rather than serve as indications that follow-up films were already in development. The closing sequences had fuelled speculation, but Jithu stressed that leaving a narrative open-ended is not the same as actively developing a sequel.
On Aavesham 2, Jithu acknowledged that conversations had taken place, but stressed that no concrete decision had been announced. The 2024 Fahadh Faasil-starrer was one of the most popular Malayalam films of its year, and its conclusion left audiences curious about another chapter in the story of Ranga and his gang. Jithu also dismissed rumours about a possible collaboration with Dulquer Salmaan and Mamitha Baiju, clarifying that neither actor had been part of any project-related discussions with him.
Meanwhile, Scene continues its strong box-office run. The Suriya-starrer has collected Rs 105.45 crore net at the Indian box office in its first six days, taking its India gross to Rs 122.50 crore, with Rs 66 crore from overseas markets for a worldwide gross of Rs 188.50 crore. On Wednesday, its sixth day, it collected Rs 8.05 crore net in India. The film features Suriya as DSP Inbaraj, alongside Nazriya Nazim and Naslen, and is produced by Suriya and Jyotika.
