Sequels are redefining Bollywood, and ‘Lakadbaggha 2’ exemplifies this with its unyielding focus on animal rights. Adil Hussain replaces Milind Soman in the key teacher role, fortifying the film’s vigilante theme in the ‘Animal Lover Vigilante Universe.’
The actor’s commitment shines through his words: ‘I was captivated by the original’s raw power. Few films today tackle animal welfare so fiercely, harking back to ‘Haathi Mere Saathi.’ This project’s heart compelled me to sign on.’
Technical triumphs mark the production. Wrapped in June 2025, it features intensified narratives, elite action set-pieces involving martial arts, and cutting-edge visuals that eclipse the first. Anshuman Jha reprises Arjun Bakshi, the blueprint of a civilian-turned-protector of animals.
Hussain appreciated the teamwork: ‘Action training pushed limits, yet Anshuman’s encouragement made it transformative. Having collaborated before in directing and acting capacities, our chemistry elevated the shoot.’
With viewers prioritizing impactful stories, ‘Lakadbaggha 2: The Monkey Business’ hits the mark. It transcends typical franchises by weaving entertainment with activism, challenging norms and inspiring action. This sequel isn’t just a follow-up—it’s a bolder statement, ready to roar on the big screen.
