No, the film isn't a sequel to Aparichit, rather the film is named after it, since both the action film's feature Vikram in the lead role. The first film, Aparichit, relates to the vigilante named Aparichit, who wanted to change the nation. While, the film Aparichit 2 released in Hindi in 2014 relates towards a strange relationship of two men, who are "Aparichit" or strangers to each other.
