Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 11: International martial arts star Sunny Pang is set to make his much-anticipated debut in Indian cinema with the upcoming action sequel Lakadbaggha 2 – The Monkey Business. The film continues the gritty saga of a vigilante animal lover, with Indian actor Anshuman Jha reprising his role from the original.
Known for his intense on-screen presence and his recent clash with Tom Hardy in Havoc, Pang’s entry into Indian films marks a major crossover moment in international action cinema.
The actors underwent rigorous training in Bangkok, working with renowned action choreographer Kecha Kamphakdee and Jaika Stunts to prepare for the demanding fight sequences. The film is currently being shot across Kolkata and West Java, Indonesia.
Sharing his excitement, Anshuman Jha said, “I loved Sunny Sir’s work in Headshot. It was a dream to work with him, let alone match him in a fight. Sunny Pang brings with him a legacy of real, visceral action. Having him in Lakadbaggha 2 is not just a casting win, it’s a statement.”
For Sunny Pang, this film represents more than just a new market: “This is my first time working on an Indian film, and the level of respect and passion I’ve experienced here has been incredible.”
He further emphasized the film’s emotional core: “Lakadbaggha 2 isn’t just another action film; it’s a story with soul, a fight with purpose. At its core, it champions animal rights, and that mission gives every punch, every kick, a deeper meaning.”
Reflecting on the experience, he added, “Our training in Bangkok to shoot in Indonesia — it’s been an intense, unforgettable journey. And I’m truly honoured to contribute to this animal lover vigilante universe. One thing’s for sure, we’re holding nothing back.”
