Anshuman Jha's 'Lakadbaggha 2' teaser poster now out, film set for Diwali 2026 release

Anshuman Jha unveils teaser poster for 'Lakadbaggha 2: The Monkey Business,' the hand-to-hand combat action sequel releasing Diwali 2026.

"Extinction is not an option - Film Poster"

Mumbai, March 15

The makers of the much-awaited sequel - 'Lakadbaggha: The Monkey Business' have unveiled a fascinating teaser poster of the film, teasing its release date.

Actor Anshuman Jha took to his Instagram handle and shared the sequel's poster, revealing that the film will hit theatres on Diwali 2026.

"On this birthday, the fight continues! Unveiling the Teaser Poster of the biggest hand to hand-combat action film from India - 'LAKADBAGGHA 2: THE MONKEY BUSINESS' A bigger hunt. A wilder jungle. And a mission to protect the voiceless. Again. See you at the movies. In cinemas Diwali 2026," he wrote.

The poster shows Anshuman's character standing in a forested area, holding an ape's hand beside him. Behind them is a large modern city skyline, engulfed by warm sunset light, which creates a contrast between nature and urban life.

"Extinction is not an option," reads a message on the poster.

'Lakadbaggha: The Monkey Business' features Anshuman Jha in the lead, who reprises his role as Arjun Bakshi, an ordinary man who transforms into an animal-loving vigilante.

Others in cast are Adil Hussain, Sarah Jane Dias, Vikram Kochar, Dan Chupong, and Sunny Pang.

Hussain was recently cast for 'Lakadbaggha 2', replacing Milind Soman in the role of sensei.

Speaking about the casting, Adil Hussain said, "Watching Lakadbaggha-1 was so inspiring. It felt like someone was finally making a film that stood up for the rights of animals--something we haven't seen in decades, perhaps since Haathi Mere Saathi in the seventies. I also had the good fortune of working with Anshuman Jha, both under his direction and as a co-actor."

The Lakadbaggha universe has also expanded beyond films, with a comic book series launched last year, adding depth to its growing mythology and reinforcing its ambition as a multi-format Indian action franchise with global appeal.

Love the concept! An action film with a strong message about animal conservation is much needed. The contrast in the poster between the jungle and the city skyline looks visually stunning. Hope the story lives up to the promise. Waiting eagerly!

Honestly, the first part was okay. The action was good but the story was weak. Hope they focus more on a tight script this time. Releasing on Diwali means big competition. They need to deliver something special to stand out. Fingers crossed 🤞

The expansion into comics is a smart move. Building a universe around this character shows real ambition. Anshuman Jha seems very passionate about this project. Wishing the whole team the best for part 2!

Adil Hussain mentioning 'Haathi Mere Saathi' hits right in the nostalgia! That's a classic. If this franchise can even come close to creating that kind of emotional connection with animals, it will be a huge success. The poster is intriguing.

A Diwali release in 2026? That's planning way ahead. Hope the long production time means they are perfecting the VFX and action sequences. The first film had raw, hand-to-hand combat which was refreshing. Hope they keep that authentic feel.
