Satya 2

The movie revolves around the world of the criminal underworld, which has experienced a decline in Mumbai over the past decade. The protagonist, Satya, arrives in Mumbai and secures a job with Lahoti, a prominent construction tycoon. In an attempt to outshine a rival in a business deal, Satya becomes entangled with the mafia and other diminished underworld factions.

As the story progresses, Satya finds himself caught in a conflict with RK, a retired mafia leader, and his son, who harbors a grudge against Satya. In order to protect himself, Satya is forced to eliminate both RK and his son. Meanwhile, he also manages to secure production funds for a film through his connections, helps his friend acquire a flat, and brings his girlfriend Chitra to live with him.

However, Satya's actions attract numerous enemies, leading to a violent shootout with the police. Tragically, during the chaos, Satya loses both his girlfriend and his friend. Although he is eventually apprehended, Satya exploits his connections to establish a company that facilitates his release from jail.

Emboldened by his newfound freedom, Satya emerges as the newest and most influential underworld leader in Mumbai. He begins his reign with a strong determination to dominate the criminal landscape, leveraging the power and influence he has acquired through his connections and experiences.

"As a film maker I have been doing a deep study of the underworld and its gangsters for more than two decades primarily for the purposes of gathering subject matters for my films and to get inspired for characters from real life references..And that's how films like Satya and Company happened... Then one day it occurred to me what if a guy out there studied the same gangsters not for becoming a film maker but for the purpose of becoming a gangster himself.it's that idea of mine which finally shaped itself into Satya 2. A new age gangster will obviously be armed with the mistakes of the earlier gangsters and also with the modern day policing methods". said Ram Gopal Varma. One romantic song of Satya 2 was shot in Kashmir in June 2013.{{cite web|author=IANS |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-09-03/news-interviews/41725120_1_satya-2-love-song-kashmir |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021022659/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-09-03/news-interviews/41725120_1_satya-2-love-song-kashmir |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 October 2013 |title=RGV's 'Satya 2' has love song shot in Kashmir |date=3 September 2013 |work=The Times of India |access-date=9 November 2013}} The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed Satya 2 with A certificate with 3 cuts.{{cite web |author=Mumbai Mirror |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Censor-Board-turns-deaf-to-Satya-2-abuses/articleshow/24374320.cms |title=Censor Board turns deaf to 'Satya 2' abuses |publisher=Timesofindia.indiatimes.com |date=19 October 2013 |access-date=9 November 2013 |archive-date=28 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180528215242/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Censor-Board-turns-deaf-to-Satya-2-abuses/articleshow/24374320.cms |url-status=live }} Satya 2 is made within the budget of Rs 15 crore.{{cite web|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/satya-2-will-it-show-the-mumbai-underworld-in-a-new-light/432760-8-66.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109231328/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/satya-2-will-it-show-the-mumbai-underworld-in-a-new-light/432760-8-66.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=9 November 2013 |title=Satya 2: Will it show the Mumbai underworld in a new light? |publisher=Ibnlive.in.com |access-date=9 November 2013}}
