Director Jithu Madhavan has dispelled rumours of a sequel to the Suriya-starrer Tamil film Scene, clarifying that no such project has been officially announced.

Suriya plays a cop named DSP Inbaraj in Jithu Madhavan’s upcoming comedy thriller Scene.

Suriya’s Scene has been keeping the box office busy ever since it hit theatres. The film has found many fans, thanks to its humour, story and performances. It has also crossed Rs 200 crore worldwide in just a week. Naturally, fans are now wondering if they will get to see Suriya return for another part. So, what does director Jithu Madhavan have to say about it?

Is Scene 2 happening?

At a recent press meet, Jithu cleared the air about the sequel rumours. He said that Scene 2 has not been announced and that there are no confirmed plans for it yet. In fact, the only sequel he has officially announced is Romancham 2. Romancham was his first film as a director and was released in 2023. “I have only announced the Romancham 2 sequel. Aavesham 2 and Scene 2 are just assumptions. I haven’t announced them.”

Jithu also spoke about the possibility of making Aavesham 2. He said, “Aavesham 2 was told at one stage, but there are no discussions or confirmations yet. There are a lot of factors to consider before making a sequel, and we have to do it at the right time.”
