In a significant move for the Indian action film industry, Chinese actor Sunny Pang has officially joined the ensemble cast of the much-anticipated sequel, Lakadbaggha 2 – The Monkey Business. The announcement has sparked excitement among fans and industry insiders alike, marking a notable step toward international collaboration in Indian cinema.
Sunny Pang is renowned for his roles in action-packed Asian films and series, having garnered a global fanbase with his compelling performances and martial arts expertise. His participation in Lakadbaggha 2 is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the franchise, which already enjoys a strong following for its high-octane fight sequences and gripping storyline. The original Lakadbaggha (2023) starred Anshuman Jha and Ridhi Dogra and was praised for its unique blend of animal activism and action.
“This is my first time working on an Indian film, and the level of respect and passion I’ve experienced here has been incredible. 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,” Pang said in a statement.
The sequel, titled The Monkey Business, promises to up the ante with more intense action, exotic locations, and a global cast.
While details about Pang’s character remain under wraps, sources close to the production suggest he will play a pivotal role that bridges the film’s Indian and international storylines. The casting choice is seen as a strategic move to expand the franchise’s reach beyond Indian borders, tapping into the growing interest in cross-cultural cinema.
With filming already underway in Mumbai and select international locations, the addition of Sunny Pang is expected to generate significant buzz in both Indian and Chinese markets, potentially paving the way for more such collaborative projects in the future.
