Martial arts maestro Sunny Pang, known for his fierce on-screen presence and unmatched action choreography, is all set to enter the Indian film industry. Fresh off his gritty role opposite Tom Hardy in Gareth Evans’ crime thriller Havoc, Pang will now face off with Anshuman Jha in the upcoming sequel Lakadbaggha 2 – The Monkey Business. The film continues the vigilante saga rooted in animal activism, blending high-octane action with an emotionally charged narrative.
Pang’s casting signals a bold new direction for the Lakadbaggha franchise, promising intense fight sequences and a formidable new adversary. With Anshuman Jha returning as the animal-loving vigilante and Sunny Pang bringing his signature combat finesse, the sequel aims to raise the bar on Indian action cinema. Shot across international locations and featuring elaborate martial arts choreography, the film is expected to hit screens in 2025.
Known globally for his breakout performance as the formidable antagonist in Netflix’s HEADSHOT—a rare action film to officially open at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2017—Pang has since become a respected icon in international martial arts cinema. His recent return to the spotlight opposite Tom Hardy has cemented his reputation as a force to reckon with in hand-to-hand combat storytelling.
