Lakadbaggha to screen at South Asian International Film Festival New York, KIFF

Lakadbaggha starring Anshuman Jha, Ridhi Dogra and Milind Soman in principal roles, is heading to the South Asian International Film Festival New York for its world premiere. In addition, it'll also be screened at the 28th edition of the Kolkata International Film Festival.

Speaking about the film Jha said, "Animals and action films are two of my biggest passions. I am grateful that our film, which is set in Kolkata, will have its India premiere at KIFF 2022 and its world premiere at the pet capital of the world, New York City. Lakadbaggha is the story of an ordinary boy on an extraordinary journey for the love of animals & being ordinary is my superpower. So I am glad we have made this film & the journey has taken 18 months of my life."

French DOP Jean-Marc-Selva shot the film while Kecha Khamphakdee (the stunt team behind Ong-Bak, 2005) designed the action. Directed by Victor Mukherjee and produced by First Ray Films, the film is expecting a worldwide release in early 2023.
