Tony Jaa’s massive hit Ong Bak (2003) not only spawned a successful franchise, but also, over the years, took the Thai action star to Hollywood with Furious 7 (2015), XXX: Return of Xander Cage (2017) and more. Now, Bollywood has come calling. Jaa and his Ong Bak co-star Dan Chupong are set to make their Hindi film debut with Anshuman Jha’s next, Lakadbaggha 2—The Monkey Business.

Like Lakadbaggha (2023), which revolved around a martial arts trainer and animal lover who becomes a vigilante after his dog goes missing, the sequel too will be an action flick. The film’s executive producer Anubhab Chitlangia tells us, “We intend to make the wildest hand-to-hand combat action film from India. We are talking to many international action stars, including Tony and Dan.”
