As Lakadbaggha marks its first anniversary, the film continues to capture the hearts of audiences, resonating with its unique blend of action and a powerful conservation message. With the announcement of Lakadbaggha Part 2, the excitement surrounding the world's first animal-lover vigilante film universe is set to soar to new heights in 2024.
To commemorate this milestone, a special screening is planned for the esteemed Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav and Forest DG of India Prakash Goyal in the coming week. Anshuman had met the environment minister last year & discussed the possibilities of using cinema as a tool for spreading awareness. The focus of this exclusive screening is to discuss possibilities about the conservation of the Indian Striped Hyena and promote the adoption of indie-dogs, showcasing the film's commitment to environmental causes, especially adopting not shopping.
Lakadbaggha has also received a prestigious invitation from Cinema Paradiso in Auroville for a special screening and talk on January 15th 2024. This event will not only showcase the film but also provide a platform for lead actor Anshuman Jha to engage with the multi-cultural audience in Auroville.
After garnering positive responses on various international film festival platforms including the 'Best Actor' award at HBO SAIFF New York & 'Vision Award' Best Film at the Indisches Film Festival Stuttgart - Lakadbaggha has been hailed as a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. The film's real performances by the star cast including Rdhi Dogra, Milind Soman, Paresh Pahuja & Eksha Kerung - have made it a favorite among cinema lovers & animal lovers. Zee5 recently announced Lakadbaggha-1 as one of its biggest films of 2023.
Anshuman Jha expressed his gratitude on this occasion, stating, "As we celebrate a year of the world's first animal lover vigilante in the coming week - Lakadbaggha continues to entertain and this cinematic universe holds a special place in my heart. The opportunity to premiere the film again for the ministry this month is a testament to the impact it has had on conservation awareness. If we can promote the message which helps in the conservation of the Indian Striped Hyena & in adoption drives for Indie-dogs - that will be our biggest victory. I am also extremely delighted by the invitation to cinema Paradiso & am looking forward to interacting with the audience in Auroville."
