More about Lakadbaggha 2

Lakadbaggha 2 is expected to go on floors later this year. Vicky Arora (RRR & Ramayana) and Kecha Kamphakdee (Ong-Bak) have been cast to direct the action in the movie. The film's sequel will be directed by ad filmmaker Sanjay Shetty, who is also the Krav-Maga World title holder. Filming will take place throughout Southeast Asia. With the arrival of these Asian masters of martial arts, this action movie is picking up the pace in anticipation of the follow-up.

The first film in the franchise was an action vigilante film revolving around Arjun (Jha), a martial arts master who moonlights as a saviour of animals. How he gets mixed up with illegal animal traders after he saves a hyena from poachers forms the plot of the story. Directed by Victor Mukherjee and penned by Alok Sharma, Lakadbaggha also starred Milind Soman.
