What to expect from Jai Mahendran 2?

Mahendran, played by Saiju Kurup, is the main character of the show. He works for the revenue department and is skilled at scheming his way into positions of authority and influence within the bureaucracy.

By the end of the show, the chief minister of Kerala, played by Johny Antony, is shown telling another minister that he needs to identify the person responsible for the land scam rebellion. It is expected that they will eventually discover that Mahendran is the one responsible for this action and that they will either cause him more problems. The main dilemma of season 2 may once again be whether he can defeat the system or give in to the very powers he previously possessed.

By the end of the season, Mahendran also appears to be a changed person. Another question among viewers will be if he has truly changed for the better or not. The director also disclosed that the platform will eventually release more information.
