Jai Bhim is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language legal drama film directed by T. J. Gnanavel. It was produced by Jyothika and Suriya under the banner of 2D Entertainment. The film stars Suriya, Lijomol Jose and Manikandan with Rajisha Vijayan, Prakash Raj, Guru Somasundaram, and Rao Ramesh in supporting roles. The film is about police bias and state violence against a marginalised community. Jai Bhim is based on a 1993 Cuddalore incident that involves a legal case fought by K. Chandru, who later became a judge; it revolves around Sengeni and Rajakannu, a couple from the Irula tribe. Police arrested Rajakannu and he later went missing from the police station.

In March 2020, media reported Suriya would be collaborating with T. J. Gnanavel, director of Kootathil Oruthan (2017), for a legal drama film based on tribal people. It was further stated that the film would be based on a true incident in 1993, and Suriya plays the role of a lawyer. His role is based on retired Madras High Court justice and former senior advocate K. Chandru, who campaigned for justice for a woman of the Irular tribe.

The film's technical crew were composer Sean Roldan, editor Philomin Raj, videographer S. R. Kathir, production designer Jacki and stunt-coordinator duo Anbariv. The film's title Jai Bhim, which is based on a slogan used by followers of B. R. Ambedkar, was announced on 23 July 2021 with a first-look release. The title was already taken by director Pa.

The project was formally announced in April 2021 with Suriya producing the film under the banner 2D Entertainment. Initially, Roshini Haripriyan was approached for the role of Sengeni but the role eventually went to Lijomol Jose. In May 2021, Malayalam film actor Rajisha Vijayan signed for a pivotal role after her Tamil debut with Karnan (2021). K.

Principal photography began in mid-2021 in Chennai; Suriya joined the sets after completing a schedule for Etharkkum Thunindhavan (2021), although production on both films was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. In July 2021, shooting of the films resumed. Principal photography on Jai Bhim was completed by September 2021.

In October 2021, the final copy of Jai Bhim was submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification, which gave the film an "A" (adults-only) certificate. It is the first time a Suriya-starrer was given this rating since Rakta Charitra 2.
