Only Romancham 2 Is Official as Scene Reaches Rs 188.50 Crore
Jithu Madhavan confirms only Romancham 2 is officially announced, as Scene races to Rs 188.50 crore worldwide in six days.
Director Jithu Madhavan has drawn a clear line between a story that can continue and a sequel that is actually in the works. At a press meet for his latest release, Scene, he confirmed that Romancham 2 is the only follow-up with an official announcement, while Aavesham 2 and Scene 2 remain speculation.
Only one sequel is official
Jithu was responding to reports that sequels to all three of his recent films were being planned. He explained that the tail-end sequences in Aavesham and Scene were deliberate creative decisions, not teasers for a second part.
“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.”
He added that the endings were designed to leave audiences feeling there was more to the story, not to indicate that follow-ups were already in development.
Romancham, the 2023 horror-comedy that established Jithu as a filmmaker to watch, remains the one recent title with a sequel already on the slate. He said that follow-up could materialise when the timing and circumstances align, not that it is racing toward production.
Aavesham 2 has been discussed, not locked
There have been conversations about returning to the world of Aavesham, the 2024 Fahadh Faasil-starrer that became one of the most talked-about Malayalam films of the year. Jithu acknowledged the discussions but stressed that no concrete decision had been announced. The film’s ending left room for Ranga and his gang to return, which is why the chatter has not gone away.
He also dismissed reports of a project with Dulquer Salmaan and Mamitha Baiju, saying neither actor had been part of any project-related discussion with him.
Scene’s box office in numbers
While the sequel talk simmers, Scene is doing its own talking at the ticket window. The Suriya-starrer has completed six days in theatres and its early split looks like this:
- India net: Rs 105.45 crore
- India gross: Rs 122.50 crore
- Overseas: Rs 66 crore
- Worldwide gross: Rs 188.50 crore
- Day six India net: Rs 8.05 crore, down 37.4% from day five’s Rs 12.85 crore
The domestic run is led by the Tamil version, which has contributed Rs 86.55 crore, while the Telugu version has added Rs 18.90 crore. These numbers also mean Suriya has crossed the Rs 100-crore India net milestone with three films in 2026.
Why this matters for fans
This is a useful reset for anyone reading a cliffhanger as a confirmation. An open ending is a narrative choice, not a production update. The only formally announced second chapter remains Romancham 2, and Jithu says that project will move when the circumstances and timing are right. Until Scene 2 or Aavesham 2 gets an official announcement, fans can enjoy the ambiguity without waiting for a date that does not exist yet.
