Lakadbhagga 3 will widen the animal lover vigilante universe to North America and South America and will address illegal animal testing. It's currently on the writing table, and we are excited to take it on the floor next year. Just like Asian stars Sunny Pang and Dan Chupong joined the cast of Part 2, two big Hollywood names will join Part 3."

Talking about the meeting, the 'Yeh Hai Bakrapur' actor stated, "I come from theatre so any cultural exchange through the arts is an exciting endeavor. With so many divisive elements in the world, it is great to meet a leader of a nation who wants to encourage exchange & unity through the arts. It was an honour to meet his excellency President Gabriel Boric, and I truly hope we help his vision of bringing the beauty of Chile to the world through our cinema."

Jha had wrapped up the shoot of "Lakadbhagga 2" in Indonesia. A source close to the development revealed that the delegation also made a stop at YRF Studios, where discussions took place about filming major upcoming projects in Chile next year. These include "Pathaan 2" from Yash Raj Films and "Lakadbhagga 3" by First Ray Films, both of which are in active planning stages.

Finally an Indian franchise going global with meaningful content! Animal rights is such an important issue worldwide. Hope they show the illegal wildlife trade too - our country suffers so much from poaching. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Shooting in Chile sounds exciting! But I hope they don't forget the Indian roots of the franchise. The first movie had such authentic desi flavor. Also, please don't make it too preachy about animal rights - entertainment should come first 😊

Hollywood stars joining Indian movies is always a double-edged sword. Remember what happened with xXx? Hope they don't overshadow our own talent. Anshuman Jha is a brilliant actor - he should remain the main focus!

So proud to see Indian cinema expanding globally! 🌍 The meeting with Chile's president shows how soft power works. Maybe next they can do a collab with our neighbors - imagine a Nepal or Sri Lanka episode fighting against illegal animal trade in Himalayas!

While I appreciate the noble cause, I hope the action sequences live up to the hype. Indian audiences want masala with their message! The Indonesia shoot better have some proper silat martial arts scenes to compete with Hollywood action.

Interesting they chose Chile - such a beautiful country! But I wonder if they'll address how animal rights issues differ in South America compared to Asia. Our street dogs vs their llama trade? Different challenges need different solutions.
