Following his successful debut with the 2023 horror-comedy Romancham, which had Soubin Shahir starring, Jithu struck gold with his sophomore Aavesham too. This film follows the consequences faced by three college friends after befriending a gangster to get even with their bullies. Aavesham became a box-office hit in both Kerala and Tamil Nadu, making over Rs 150 crore.
