The movie follows the story of a hardworking Irula tribe couple, Senggeni and Rajakannu. Their world falls apart when Rajakannu is arrested on false charges and later goes missing from police custody. Sengenni in an effort to find her husband seeks the help of Advocate Chandru, played by Suriya, who takes it upon himself to unearth the truth and fight all odds to bring justice to the tribal woman. The movie also stars Prakash Raj, Rajisha Vijayan, Lijomol Jose, Rao Ramesh and K. Manikandan in supporting roles. Jai Bhim has been produced by Suriya and Jyotika under the banner of 2D Entertainment.
In an interview with PTI, Suriya spoke about his upcoming movie and said, "The film is more about what happened in 1995... Definitely, it will inspire a lot of people in our society to have a different perspective on certain things. How the judiciary and the police department should be hand-in-hand to make things be in the right place, bring justice."
