*”I enjoyed *Lakadbaggha 1. It had action and emotion,” stated Sarah. “The sequel allows me to finally get to do action, and promote a cause I care about—animals’ welfare.”
Star Cast Becomes Stronger
The sequel has martial arts legend Sunny Pang alongside Anshuman Jha and Ridhi Dogra. Sarah’s addition adds emotional depth and star strength to the story.
“Sarah brings grace, strength, and quiet intensity,” Jha said. “This universe is changing—and with her, it’s even more potent.”
Conscience Storyline
Directed by Jha, the sequel is a follow-up on India’s first animal-loving vigilante. This time, primates and the illegal trade black web are in focus.
Although Sarah’s role remains a secret, sources indicate that her character will be physically demanding and morally upright.
