The film was released on 5 July 2013 along with a Telugu dubbed version simply titled Singam, also known as Yamudu II. A Hindi dubbed version entitled Main Hoon Surya: Singham II was released later on 2 August.

After having killed extortionist Mayil Vaaganam in the first film, Durai Singam (Suriya) has gone undercover after meeting the Home Minister (Vijayakumar) and is working as an NCC officer in a school in Thoothukudi. The only people who know about this operation are the Chief Minister (K. Viswanath) and Home Minister. Sathya (Hansika Motwani) is a student who falls for Duraisingam though he is waiting to marry Kavya (Anushka Shetty), his love interest. Singam's father is angry about him leaving the force and refuses to speak with him. He also forbids the marriage between Duraisingam and Kavya, as he fears Kavya's father might take Duraisingam away to manage his business empire and so that Durai Singam will lose respect within his relatives.

Susai (Santhanam), a local who works in the same school shows Duraisingam parts of Thoothukudi and tells him about the rogue elements dominating the area helping him in his surveillance. He requests the Home Minister to transfer Erimalai (Vivek) and another cop for assisting him. Sathya's moves are frequently repulsed by Duraisingam who learns that Sathya is the niece of rich exports businessman Thangaraj (Rahman). Bhai (Mukesh Rishi) and Thangaraj, pretend to be enemies, but are two criminals who control the south-east coastline of Tamil Nadu. Bhai and Thangaraj have connections with an international gangster and drug lord Danny (Danny Sapani), and are trafficking cocaine. Duraisingam doesn't know about their connection and keeps Bhai in his off duty surveillance.
