Anshuman Jha Brings In Sarah Jane Dias For Lakadbaggha 2; Deets Inside
The makers have announced the casting of Sarah Jane Dias for Lakadbaggha's sequel, suggesting that she would play a significant role.
With actor-filmmaker Anshuman Jha officially taking over the director's chair for Lakadbaggha 2: The Monkey Business, actress Sarah Jane Dias has now been roped in for a key role. Taking to Instagram, First Ray Films, in a joint post, confirmed the news, stating, 'Together, they've got tex(t) appeal and bite. The pack gets fiercer as Sarah Jane Dias joins Anshuman Jha in the animal lover vigilante universe #Lakadbaggha."
The post also included a picture of Sarah and Anshuman, showing the duo joining forces for the upcoming sequel.
Known for her work in Kankhajura, The Buckingham Murders, Inside Edge and Made In Heaven, Sarah Jane Dias is expected to bring another layer of her acting skills to the film. While details about her role have been kept under wraps, sources suggest that she can serve as a moral compass in the narrative that revolves around an animal-loving vigilante, as per MidDay.
Opening up about her character, the former Miss India-turned-actor revealed that she enjoyed watching the first film for its compassion towards animals. 'It's rare to find a project that blends action with a purpose, protecting the voiceless. Lakadbaggha 2 is bold, relevant, and emotionally charged. Also, it gave me a chance to make my dream of performing action come true," she added.
Anshuman Jha, who appears to be creating India's first-ever Animal Lover Vigilante Universe, said that Sarah's casting brings a silent storm to the screen. 'Her strength, elegance, and depth make her a perfect fit for the world of Lakadbaggha. Sarah is elegant with an edge. She brings grace and fire to the role, and we can't wait for audiences to meet her character. This time, the pack isn't just back, it's stronger, fiercer, and far more layered. With Ridhi and now Sarah, we're expanding both the emotional resonance and the reach of this universe," he added.
Following the success of the first Lakadbaggha film, it introduces audiences to a world where justice is served for animals. The sequel is expected to get even more intense, with the film delving into the dark world of illegal primate trading and global conspiracy.
Besides Sarah, Ridhi Dogra and Anshuman Jha also returned to the rules. International casting of martial arts legend Sunny Pang and Dan Chupong will refine the film's VFX and tone.

Samay Raina says 40,000 tickets of India tour sold in just an hour: ‘The Love is unreal'
Comedian Samay Raina has kicked off his much-anticipated India tour with a bang. In an Instagram story shared just hours ago, Raina revealed that a staggering 40,000 tickets were sold within an hour of going live — setting a new personal record. "The love is unreal... We will bring the house down," he wrote, thanking fans for their overwhelming support. Titled 'Samay Raina Is Still Alive and Unfiltered', this marks the comedian's first tour in India since the controversial fallout from the now-scrapped YouTube show India's Got Latent. The tour will begin in Bengaluru on August 15 and wrap up in Delhi on October 5, with shows scheduled across multiple Indian cities. This tour holds special significance for Raina, as it follows months of public backlash over an offensive question posed in an episode of India's Got Latent. In the now-deleted video, fellow YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia had asked a contestant an extremely inappropriate hypothetical, which went viral and drew sharp criticism from across the country — including political leaders and film personalities. The backlash led to several FIRs being filed against the show's makers, including Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, and others involved in the production. As a result, all episodes of the show were taken down from YouTube. Earlier this month, Raina appeared before the National Commission for Women (NCW) and submitted a written apology, expressing regret over the content shared in the episode. Before launching his India tour, Samay Raina recently wrapped up an international tour that saw him perform in Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The global leg began on June 5 in Cologne and concluded on July 20 in Sydney, drawing packed audiences and rave reviews. Now, with record-breaking ticket sales for his India tour, Raina seems to be making a strong comeback — one that fans are clearly ready to welcome.
