== Plot ==
Surya ([[Jeet (actor)|Jeet]]), a public figure who is now hated by the people of India due to an apparent missing of their money kept in Business bank, a bank built by Surya for his people. Gopinath, Surya's loved minister, was killed by an unknown person due to various enmities. Surya was forced to leave India due to repeated threats by the people and the police. He dressed as a Rock musician and sneaked into Dhaka, Bangladesh, to look for Prince Shahnawaz Hussain ([[Amit Hasan]]), who had earlier promised to donate a huge sum for his company, Surya Industries. But later, he came to know that he betrayed him and went off to Bangkok, Thailand. In Dhaka, Aisha ([[Nusrat Faria Mazhar|Nusraat Faria]]), who was actually Shahnawaz's daughter, helped Surya to overcome various problems and come to Bangkok. In Bangkok, during an action scene on the top of Shahnawaz's building, we come to know that actually Bidyut Shivalkar ([[Indraneil Sengupta]]), Gopinath's son, who Surya had believed to be his friend due to his enormous contributions to his industry, was the one who tricked Surya by stealing all the money in the bank with a hope to become a wealthy man. He is also the man who killed his father by gunfire due to greed for the property. The people who helped him were Prince Shahnawaz Hussain and Jagadish Kumar ([[Kaushik Sen]]), another politician friend of Gopinath, with the same intention. Surya escaped them by jumping down the building using a rope. He is soon able to kill Shahnawaz with the help of Aisha, who hates her father for killing many people, including her mother. He also is able to poison Avinash to death while asleep, in spite of the huge security. But then the plot turns around when Bidyut captures Aisha and Rusha ([[Subhashree Ganguly]]), Surya's lover. But finally, in an action scene, he is able to save both of them and gets hold of Bidyut. He also thus is able to win back the lost money. Bidyut is sent to jail, and a victorious Surya is once again able to bring happiness to his people and criticizes them for losing their trust on him. Nevertheless, the film ends on a happy note, with Surya being able to win back the trust of the people.

== Controversy ==
After being uploaded on to Jaaz Multimedia's [[YouTube]] channel, the song "Allah Meherbaan" ("By the Grace of Allah") stirred up controversy due to its title being perceived as an Islamic song.<ref name="Boss 2 Controversy 1" /> Nusrat was criticised for appearing in revealing costumes in the music video.<ref name="Boss 2 Controversy 1">{{Cite news |url=http://bdnews24.com/entertainment/2017/05/28/lawyer-serves-legal-notice-on-producer-after-mistaking-allah-meherbaan-for-an-islamic-song|title=Lawyer serves legal notice on producer after mistaking ‘Allah Meherbaan’ for an Islamic song |work=bdnews24.com|access-date=2017-06-02}}</ref> After viewing the video, advocate Md Azizul Bashar, for a publicity stunt, claimed he was 'embarrassed' after allegedly mistaking the song to be a religious song. A legal notice, on behalf of Bashar, was sent by Supreme Court lawyer Md&nbsp;Hujjatul&nbsp;Islam&nbsp;Khan to Jaaz Multimedia for 'hurting the religious sentiments of everyone' by releasing a 'disgraceful' song before the month of [[Ramadan]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://en.prothom-alo.com/entertainment/news/149455/Legal-notice-served-to-remove-Allah-Meherban|title=Legal notice served to remove 'Allah Meherban' from Youtube|work=Prothom Alo|access-date=2017-06-02|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170601010046/http://en.prothom-alo.com/entertainment/news/149455/Legal-notice-served-to-remove-Allah-Meherban|archive-date=1 June 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> The notice gave three days to remove the song from YouTube and other social media networks. After the notice was sent, Jaaz Multimedia removed the music video from their YouTube channel.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://en.prothom-alo.com/entertainment/news/149697/Music-video-Allah-Meherban-removed-from-Youtube|title=Music video 'Allah Meherban' removed from Youtube|work=Prothom Alo|access-date=2017-06-02|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170704122056/http://en.prothom-alo.com/entertainment/news/149697/Music-video-Allah-Meherban-removed-from-Youtube|archive-date=4 July 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Another controversy came from Bangladesh towards the film, this time regarding the joint production between Bangladesh and India. According to the joint production rules of Bangladesh, the film must share half of the actors from either country. The preliminary preview committee of the censor board raised the allegation after reviewing the film. After reviewing the film, the chief of the committee and managing director of the BFDC (Bangladesh Film Development Organization), Tapan Kumar Ghosh, told me this."Most of the artistes in the film are from India. It seems to me that in the case of actors, the principles of a joint production have not been followed," Tapan Kumar Ghosh said.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://en.prothom-alo.com/entertainment/news/150455/|title='Boss 2' hit by another controversy|work=Prothom Alo|access-date=2017-06-08|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170729085239/http://en.prothom-alo.com/entertainment/news/150455|archive-date=29 July 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> After a few weeks of protests, the Censor Board gave clearance to the films to release, in time to release on the holiday of&nbsp;[[Eid al-Fitr|Eid.]]<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thedailystar.net/arts-entertainment/film/nabab-and-boss-2-get-censor-clearance-1424425|title="NABAB" AND "BOSS 2" get censor clearance|date=2017-06-23|work=The Daily Star|access-date=2017-06-24|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://en.prothom-alo.com/entertainment/news/151809/Nabab-Boss-2-to-be-released-this-Eid|title='Nabab', 'Boss-2' to be released this Eid|work=Prothom Alo|access-date=2017-06-24|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627045622/http://en.prothom-alo.com/entertainment/news/151809/Nabab-Boss-2-to-be-released-this-Eid|archive-date=27 June 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== Yaara Meherbaan ===
After the backlash in Bangladesh to the release of the song "Allah Meherbaan", [[Jaaz Multimedia]] received a legal notice and removed the music video from their YouTube channel.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news/allah-maherbaan-banned-in-bangladesh/articleshow/59095778.cms|title=Allah Maherbaan banned in Bangladesh |work=The Times of India|access-date=2017-06-14}}</ref> On 13 June, Jaaz Multimedia released an updated version of the song with rewritten lyrics onto their YouTube channel.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.dhakatribune.com/showtime/2017/06/13/allah-meherbaan-changing-yaara-meherbaan/|title=‘Allah Meherbaan’ changing to ‘Yaara Meherbaan’ |work=Dhaka Tribune |language=en-US|access-date=2017-06-14}}</ref> The new version of the song on YouTube is titled "Yaara Meherbaan". Grassroot Entertainment also removed the original song from their YouTube channel and replaced it with "Yaara Meherbaan". However, the single and soundtrack released on different platforms such as [[iTunes]], [[Spotify]], and [[Saavn]] all retain the original "Allah Meherbaan" song.
