SPL II (SAT POR LONG II) is heating up in production in Thailand. Although the climate has been rather humid and many scenes required a lot of action from the cast, they did not complain at all despite sweating bullets everyday.

Yesterday when one of the key actors Tony Jaa arrived on the set for makeup as usual, he received a call from his family that his father suddenly passed away from illness. Director Soi Cheang Po Shui, producers Wilson Yip Wai Man and Paco Wong all expressed their sorrow and sent comfort and support to Tony Jaa. Tony Jaa immediately took a few days off from the shoot and returned home that was a six hour drive away from the set. Because Tony Jaa has completed most of his action scenes and his shoot almost reached its end, Cheang Po Shui believed that the film will be completed as scheduled.
