Sharing the news through a heartfelt note while extending his Onam greetings, Tharun wrote:

“This Onam is truly special for me. As an artist, as a filmmaker, and as a human being, I’m cherishing every moment of artistic ecstasy. We are now in serious discussions about a sequel to one of my projects. Some personal meetings and real-life incidents still inspire me to bring it back. This is not official yet—but in some ways, it already feels official.

It was during an Onam season, when I was completely blank, that a door first opened before me. And this Onam, I couldn’t let that signal fade away. Yes, I’ve started writing again—this time, the second part of one of my films. I’ll share more official updates soon. Be with us. As always.”

The announcement has set off a wave of excitement among fans, sparking speculation about which of his films will return with a sequel. While many believe the project could be ‘Operation Java’, others are hopeful that it might be ‘Thudarum’.
Tharun Moorthy, known for crafting relatable stories with social depth, seems to have struck a nostalgic chord by tying this update to the festive season. With anticipation now running high, fans are eagerly waiting for the official confirmation on which film will get its much-awaited second chapter.
