India, Jan. 21 -- Anshuman Jha-starrer 2023 action-thriller Lakadbaggha is gearing up for the release of its sequel, Lakadbaggha 2: The Monkey Business in mid-2026. Now, we have learnt that actor Adil Hussain has joined the film's cast replacing actor Milind Soman in the role of the sensei in the sequel. The role has been significantly expanded in the sequel and will see the sensei character play a pivotal role in the protagonist's journey. Confirming his casting, Adil says, he was inspired by the first film of the series. "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 (1971) in the seventies," he says, crediting Anshuman for his support during the action training and sequences: "The martial arts training and action sequences were challenging, but Anshuman was incredibly supportive and generous throughout the process." The film features martial arts legends Sunny Pang, known for Headshot (2016), Havoc (2025) and Dan Chupong from OngBak series. The Indian cast includes Sarah Jane Dias, Vikram Kochar, and Anshuman, who reprises his role from the first film. The sequel's shoot wrapped up in June 2025, and Anshuman also takes on the director's chair for this film....
