In Abang Long Fadil 2 the titular character is mistaken for a professional assassin named Tiger. He is unwillingly dragged into the underworld by mafia leader Taji Samprit and his son, Wak Doyok. Yana (Tania Hudson), Fadil's love interest, is a broadcast journalist assigned to cover Tiger's case, while Inspector Wahab ( Syamsul Yusof) investigates. Abang Long Fadil 2 was co-produced by Astro Shaw and Skop Productions. Filming took place in 2015, while post-production took two years to complete.
