Jiivi 2 is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language thriller film directed and written by V.J Gopinath and produced by Suresh Kamatchi.

[1] The film stars Vetri in the lead role, alongside an ensemble cast including Karunakaran, Ashwini Chandrashekar, Monica Chinnakotla, Rohini and Mime Gopi.

Saravanan is happily married to Kavitha (Ashwini Chandrashekar), the blind daughter of Sivagami, whom he and Mani had burgled ten months previously.

Their happy lives begin to fall apart when, one night, Saravanan spots Kathir being chased by thugs and rescues him.

A desperate Saravanan convinces Mani to help him burgle their friend Hari, a rich and feckless college student.

Though Hari and Siva escaped justice, the neighbour had died by suicide, leaving his young daughter orphaned.

Director V. J. Gopinath began working on a sequel to his first film Jiivi (2019) after a proposed project with Vishnu Vishal was delayed in September 2021.

He chose to start the film right from the point where the first part ends, with the sequel retaining all key elements and characters.

He felt that if the film did not fare well at the box office, it would struggle to fetch a good OTT deal.
