Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 15 : The makers of the much-awaited sequel - 'Lakadbaggha: The Monkey Business' have unveiled a fascinating teaser poster of the film, teasing its release date.

"On this birthday, the fight continues! Unveiling the Teaser Poster of the biggest hand to hand-combat action film from India - 'LAKADBAGGHA 2: THE MONKEY BUSINESS' A bigger hunt. A wilder jungle. And a mission to protect the voiceless. Again. See you at the movies. In cinemas Diwali 2026," he wrote.

The poster shows Anshuman's character standing in a forested area, holding an ape's hand beside him. Behind them is a large modern city skyline, engulfed by warm sunset light, which creates a contrast between nature and urban life.

"Extinction is not an option," reads a message on the poster.

'Lakadbaggha: The Monkey Business' features Anshuman Jha in the lead, who reprises his role as Arjun Bakshi, an ordinary man who transforms into an animal-loving vigilante.

Others in cast are Adil Hussain, Sarah Jane Dias, Vikram Kochar, Dan Chupong, and Sunny Pang.

Hussain was recently cast for 'Lakadbaggha 2', replacing Milind Soman in the role of sensei.

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 animalssomething 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 Lakadbaggha universe has also expanded beyond films, with a comic book series launched last year, adding depth to its growing mythology and reinforcing its ambition as a multi-format Indian action franchise with global appeal.
