Thai action movies such as Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong were heavily inspirational towards the development of many martial arts movies all over the world.
However, he hasn’t been casted in a Thai movie for so long and rather, is casted in foreign action movies.
Indonesia has many action movies starred by Indonesian martial artists such as Iko Uwais and while he also stars in Western action movies, he also star more often in Indonesian native action movies. Meanwhile, Tony Jaa’s last Thai action movie was in 2013 and it was Tom Yum Goong 2.
Why? What happened? Why doesn’t he star in Thai action movies anymore?
I don’t think it has to do with costs because many producers are willing to hire Yaya and Davika to act in series.
