MUMBAI: Actor Adil Hussain has joined the cast of ‘Lakadbaggha 2: The Monkey Business’, replacing Milind Soman in the role of the sensei in the sequel, slated for release later this year.
Speaking about the casting, Adil Hussain said, “Watching Lakadbaggha-1 was so inspiring. 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 in the seventies. I also had the good fortune of working with Anshuman Jha, both under his direction and as a co-actor.”
“The martial arts training and action sequences were challenging, but Anshuman has been incredibly supportive and generous throughout the process. I’m truly grateful to be part of the Lakadbaggha franchise,” he added.
Known for his performance in Life of Pi, Hussain steps into a role that has been significantly expanded in the sequel.
