Chinese actor Sunny Pang to star in Anshuman Jha’s Lakadbaggha 2

Chinese actor Sunny Pang is set to make his Indian film debut with Anshuman Jha’s Lakadbaggha 2 – The Monkey Business. The film is currently in production with shoot being completed in Kolkata and Indonesia.

Sunny is known for starring in the Netflix actioner Headshot (2016), essaying a negative role. He recently shared the screen with Hollywood actor Tom Hardy in the thriller Havoc.

As per a press release, Sunny and Anshuman will be seen engaging in an intense hand-to-hand combat in Lakadbaggha 2. The two actors flew to Bangkok to train with the action team behind the franchise - Kecha Kamphakdee & Jaika Stunts.

Speaking about casting Sunny, 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."

Sunny added, “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. It isn't easy making a raw, real, grounded, martial arts film. But Anshuman leads this franchise with heart, and the entire team’s dedication is next-level. Our training in Bangkok to shoot in Indonesia - it’s been an intense, unforgettable journey for me.”

Lakadbaggha (2023), directed by Victor Mukherjee, told the story of an animal-lover vigilante who vows to stop an illegal animal trade in Kolkata. The sequel is being helmed by Anshuman. He made his directorial debut with Lord Curzon Ki Haveli.
