On the work front, Pichaikkaran 2 is the sequel to the 2016 drama Pichaikkaran. The first film was a big hit at the box office and helped Vijay Antony to gain some credibility as a bankable actor in Tamil cinema. At the height of demonetisation, the movie gained more popularity owing to a rant by a beggar in the movie. The said speech in the film had spoken about the importance of banning big banknotes like the now defunct Rs 1000 to check the menace of black money.

Pichaikkaran follows a rich man, who takes on the disguise of a beggar after a sage tells him that it was the only way to save his ailing mother.
