Plot

The story continues 4 years after the incidents of Boss: Born to Rule that took place in 2013. In 2017, Surya, a public figure, is now hated by the people due to the disappearance of their money (worth ₹35000 crores) kept in the Business bank headquarters, a bank built by Surya for his people. Surya's loved person, Chief Minister of Maharashtra Gopinath Shivalkar, who was previously mayor of Mumbai, was killed by an unknown person due to various enmities. Surya was forced to leave India due to repeated threats by the people and the police, where he dressed as a rock musician and sneaked into Dhaka, to look for Prince Shahnawaz Hussain, who had earlier promised to donate a huge sum for his company Surya Industries, but later discovers that he betrayed him and went to Bangkok.

In Dhaka, Aisha, who is Shahnawaz's daughter, helped Surya to overcome various problems and come to Bangkok. In Bangkok, it is revealed that Bidyut Shivalkar, Gopinath's son, whom Surya had believed to be his friend due to his enormous contributions to his industry, was the one who tricked Surya by stealing all the money in the bank to become wealthy. Bidyut was also the man who killed his father by gunfire due to greed for the property and the people who helped him were Prince Shahnawaz Hussain and Gopinath's politician friend Jagadish Kumar with the same intention.

Surya escapes from them, where he is soon able to kill Shahnawaz with the help of Aisha, who hates her father for killing many people, including her mother. Surya also is able to fatally poison Avinash while asleep despite huge security, but Bidyut captures Aisha and Surya's lover Rusha. However, Surya is able to save them and gets hold of Bidyut, where he is also able to win back the lost money. Bidyut is sent to prison while Surya is able to bring back the people's trust and also criticizes them for losing their trust on him.

Controversy

After being uploaded on to Jaaz Multimedia's YouTube channel, the song "Allah Meherbaan" ("By the Grace of Allah") stirred up controversy due to its title being perceived as an Islamic song. [10] Nusrat was criticised for appearing in revealing costumes in the music video. [10] After viewing the video, advocate Md Azizul Bashar, for a publicity stunt, claimed he was 'embarrassed' after allegedly mistaking the song to be a religious song. A legal notice, on behalf of Bashar, was sent by Supreme Court lawyer Md Hujjatul Islam Khan to Jaaz Multimedia for 'hurting the religious sentiments of everyone' by releasing a 'disgraceful' song before the month of Ramadan. [11] The notice gave three days to remove the song from YouTube and other social media networks. After the notice was sent, Jaaz Multimedia removed the music video from their YouTube channel. [12]

Another controversy came from Bangladesh towards the film, this time regarding the joint production between Bangladesh and India. According to the joint production rules of Bangladesh, the film must share half of the actors from either country. The preliminary preview committee of the censor board raised the allegation after reviewing the film. After reviewing the film, the chief of the committee and managing director of the BFDC (Bangladesh Film Development Organization), Tapan Kumar Ghosh, told me this."Most of the artistes in the film are from India. It seems to me that in the case of actors, the principles of a joint production have not been followed," Tapan Kumar Ghosh said. [13] After a few weeks of protests, the Censor Board gave clearance to the films to release, in time to release on the holiday of  Eid. [14] [15]
