Karthik, who rose to fame with widely popular films such as Pizza and Jigarthanda, couldn’t meet the expectations of fans with his last two releases – Jagame Thandhiram and Mahaan. Karthik’s announcement regarding Jigarthanda 2 came out of the blue.

Expressing their excitement over the announcement, several fans requested him to not disappoint with the sequel. One fan asked if this will be his comeback. One fan wrote: “Jigarthanda is your best so far. After that, I can't find a movie in that class from you. I will watch Jigarthanda any day at any juncture. So think twice before creating part 2. And don't spoil the name of the movie (sic).” Another fan wrote in Tamil: “Please give a comeback, boss (sic).”

One more fan wrote: “Only one thing to convey, be in the mode you made JD1 . It's a cult classic we enjoy even today , indha elumban , andha sottai kaga compromise panni panna madhri pannadheenga plsssssssssss (Don’t compromise your vision for any Tom, Dick and Harry). The visuals, bgm of JD are still etched in our minds. Don't spoil it (sic).”

Jigarthanda is the story of a filmmaker who sets out to make a gangster film inspired by the life of a real gangster from Madurai. While Siddharth played the gangster, Bobby Simhaa played the gangster. The film, which had music by Santosh Narayanan, was rumoured to be inspired from Korean action-comedy, Dirty Carnival.
