Director Jithu Madhavan has shared an update on the sequel to his hit film Romancham. The filmmaker revealed that Romancham 2 will not be what audiences are expecting. The sequel will neither continue the story of Romancham nor focus on Anamika, the ghost from the first instalment. Instead, it will explore a different storyline in which the same characters encounter a new problem.

He also revealed that when he initially began writing the sequel, the story was intended to be a continuation of the first film, although it did not revolve around Anamika. However, he said he needed more time before returning to the sequel. The director shared these details in an interview with Cue Studio.

Meanwhile, speaking about the sequel to his sophomore directorial, Aavesham, Jithu Madhavan revealed that discussions are underway, but nothing has been confirmed yet. He said that Aavesham 2 is currently on hold due to uncertainty surrounding a couple of other films that are scheduled for release and reportedly explore a similar subject. Once those films are released, the team will look forward to moving ahead with Aavesham 2.

As Jithu's new Tamil film Scene is a leading grosser in theatres now, audiences are very excited about his next film. Though the director had denied the rumours of his collaboration with Dulquer Salmaan and Mamita Baiju, netizens raised questions about the sequels to his previous hits Romancham and Aavesham. 

Romancham, starring Soubin Shahir and Arjun Ashokan, was released in 2023 and went on to become a huge theatrical hit. Jithu Madhavan followed up its success with Aavesham, headlined by Fahadh Faasil, in 2024. The director recently achieved his hat-trick hit with his Tamil debut Scene, starring surya and Nasriya Nasim in the lead roles.
