'Havoc' actor Sunny Pang to make his Indian film debut with Anshuman Jha's 'Lakadbaggha 2'

Chinese martial arts star Sunny Pang debuts in Indian cinema with Anshuman Jha's action-packed 'Lakadbaggha 2' featuring intense fight sequences

"Lakadbaggha2 isn't just another action film—it's a story with soul, a fight with purpose - Sunny Pang"

Mumbai, June 10

Chinese martial arts star Sunny Pang, who recently shared the screen with Hollywood star Tom Hardy in "Havoc", is set to step into Indian cinema with “Lakadbaggha 2 - The Monkey Business" opposite Anshuman Jha.

Pang is known for playing the antagonist in Netflix’s action film Headshot, which officially premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2017.

Anshuman 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. This sequel is going to be bigger, bolder, and more brutal in the best way possible for the world of Indian Action films."

‘Lakadbaggha 2’ is poised to be a combat spectacle, with Pang and Anshuman engaging in an intense hand-to-hand duel. The two actors flew to Bangkok to train with the action team behind the franchise - Kecha Kamphakdee & Jaika Stunts.

Sunny Pang said, “"This is my first time working on an Indian film, and the level of respect and passion I’ve experienced here has been incredible. Lakadbaggha2 (The Monkey Business) 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. It isn't easy making a raw, real, grounded, martial arts film.”

Pang said that Anshuman leads this franchise with heart, and the entire team’s dedication is next-level.

He added: “Our training in Bangkok to shoot in Indonesia - it’s been an intense, unforgettable journey for me. And I'm truly honored to contribute to this animal lover vigilante universe. One thing’s for sure - we’re holding nothing back."

Production for Lakadbaggha 2 is underway with the shoot being done at Kolkata and West Java in Indonesia.

While I appreciate the international collaboration, I hope the story doesn't get overshadowed by just action sequences. Lakadbaggha had a good message about animal rights - hope part 2 maintains that balance between entertainment and purpose.

Saw Sunny Pang in Headshot - the man is a beast in action scenes! But can he match up to Indian action heroes like Tiger Shroff in terms of screen presence? That's what I'm curious about. The Bangkok training sounds intense though!

Love that they're shooting in Kolkata! Our city doesn't get enough representation in mainstream action films. Hope they showcase some authentic Bengali culture along with the martial arts. Fingers crossed for this one! 🤞

The first part was surprisingly good - raw action with a social message. If they can maintain that quality while scaling up the production, this could be India's answer to the John Wick franchise. Sunny Pang is a great addition to the cast!

Interesting choice of locations - Kolkata and Indonesia. Hope they don't make it look too generic though. Indian action films have their own flavor and I'd hate to see that get lost in trying to appeal to global audiences. The animal rights angle is what makes this special.
