Sathya is a beggar, who is searching for his long-lost sister Raani as she was sold by human traffickers under the guise of people running an orphanage. One day, Sathya is kidnapped by mercenaries, and the doctors transplant his brain into the body of Sathya's doppelganger Vijay Gurumoorthy, a renowned business tycoon. Sathya's brain is transplanted into Vijay's body. Later, Sathya regains consciousness and is shocked to see his new persona. After this, Vijay's business partners Aravind, Illango and Dr. Shiva, who are the main masterminds behind the transplant, meet Sathya and force him to act as Vijay.
Sathya reluctantly accepts and begins his new life as Vijay, where he meets Vijay's girlfriend Hema. One day, Sathya sneaks into the police station and tells a police officer about his real identity and the brain transplant done by Aravind, Illango and Shiva, but the officer doesn't believe him. Sathya is caught by Aravind, Illango and Shiva, where he is brought to an island and is brutally tortured by the trio. However, Sathya gets agitated, he kills and dumps Aravind, Illango and Shiva's bodies in the island and returns to Chennai. Due to an incident regarding a girl's death by a politician, Sathya decides to take Vijay's place and starts a non-profit foundation named Anti Bikili, which will help solve the poor people's problems and eradicate poverty in the state.
The Anti Bikili Foundation becomes a success, and Sathya receives admiration and respect from the public. One night, the police find Aravind, Illango and Shiva's corpses, while helping the survivors in a plane crash. The police officer learns about the trio and informs Sathya's earlier conversation in the police station to the CM, who blackmails Sathya in giving him a share of the money, but Sathya refuses and reveals his real identity to Hema. Sathya surrenders to the court. After a heavy court case, the court declares Vijay's properties to be transferred to Hema (who is pregnant with Vijay's child), thus saving the Anti Bikili foundation, while Sathya is sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murders. Sathya thanks Hema for her timely help and finally meets Raani, along with her married husband and her daughter, who is also named Sathya. Sathya apologies to Raani and promises to reunite with her after his release from prison.
After the success of Pichaikkaran, Vijay Antony planned to make a sequel for the film in 2020 and had approached Sasi to direct the sequel, but he was busy with other commitments, due to which Antony searched for directors and chose Priya Krishnaswamy. The first look poster was released on 24 July 2020. The crew announced that the film will be dubbed in Telugu and titled Bichagadu 2. However, Priya opted out of the film crew. In 2021, while acting in Kodiyil Oruvan, Antony asked the director Ananda Krishnan to direct Pichaikkaran 2. Later, Vijay Antony himself wrote the script with co-writers K. Palani and Paul Antony, where he finally decided to make his directorial debut with this film. The film was produced by Fatima Vijay Antony under the banner of Vijay Antony Film Corporation. This film is the tenth production of Vijay Antony Film Corporation. The character look poster for Pichaikkaran 2: Anti Bikili was released on 12 March 2022.
Principal photography began on 1 September 2021. The film was shot in Chennai, Malaysia, Kolkata, Georgia, and Dubai. On 13 December 2022, three of the film's technicians were arrested for taking a shot with a drone camera above the Madras High Court without permission from authorities. In mid-January 2023, while filming a final sequence of the song "Kaloorum Poove" in Langkawi, Antony and lead actress Kavya Thapar were riding a water scooter when another boat collided with it, leaving Antony with a broken jaw and nose, while Thapar suffered major facial injuries. Both underwent treatment and recovered, and resumed filming in early February. The cinematography of the film was done by Om Narayan, and the editing of the film was done by Antony. The action sequences of the film are choreographed by Rajasekar, who earlier worked on the film Ayyappanum Koshiyum, and Mahesh Mathew, who earlier worked with Vijay Antony on Kodiyil Oruvan. A four-minute promotional sneak peek video of the film released on 10 February 2023. The trailer for the film was released on 29 April 2023.
