Singam II is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language action film directed by Hari and produced by S. Lakshman Kumar.

Eight months after killing the extortionist Mayil Vaaganam,[a] former police officer Durai Singam goes on an undercover mission working as an NCC master in a Thoothukudi school and studies the illegal activities happening in the city.

Sathya is a twelfth grade student who has heavy infatuation on Singam, though he is waiting to marry his love interest Kavya.

Singam later learns that Sathya is the niece of an influential crime boss named Thangaraj, who is involved in Financial and Seaway scams.

Due to a verbal fight in a pub, Bhai's chief Saghayam, a drug importer, kidnaps a girl from another caste after her brother insults him, and holds her ransom until sunset.

With his connections, Singam takes charge as new DSP and saves the girl, where he is praised by the public and also forgiven by his father.

At Singam's engagement function, Mayil Vaaganam's former ally "Harbour" Shanmugam informs him that Thangaraj has hired goons to attack his family that night.

Enraged, Singam seeks permission from Ramanathan for traveling to South Africa as his marriage will take place in three days.

Singam arrives in South Africa and joins Major Kyle Ambrose and the police to confront Danny, who has taken sanctuary with Durban-based gangster Alex.

Reprising their roles from the original film are Anushka Shetty, Vivek, Vijayakumar, Nassar, and Radha Ravi while Hansika Motwani was signed on as the second female lead.

The director has also filmed some of the key songs, stunts and talkie portions in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa, as well as Malaysia and Kenya.

Bollywood singer Baba Sehgal had recorded a song in the film following the success of his "Kadhal Vandhale" number from the original.

The screen presence and charisma of Suriya coupled with brilliance of Hari’s screenplay and direction makes Singam 2 a joyful experience.
