The sixth of March marked the tenth year anniversary of Yaavarum Nalam, the much-celebrated 2008 horror film about a possessed television set. Starring Madhavan and Neetu Chandra in the lead, the Tamil-Hindi bilingual (13B in Hindi) was the breakout film of director Vikram Kumar, who later went on to helm films like Manam and 24. The gritty cinematography of PC Sreeram and the eerie background score of Shankar Eesan Loy were two things that were talked about, back then.

Fans, celebrating the film's anniversary, tweeted to Madhavan saying that Yaavarum Nalam/13 B, which was way ahead of its time, definitely deserved an updated follow-up. The actor, who acknowledged the tweets, promised that he would soon start working on a sequel. 

Madhavan is currently shooting his directorial debut, Rocketry - The Nambi Effect, which has the actor portray the role of ISRO scientist, Nambi Narayanan.
