Dev Patel’s Genre-Blending Debut: Monkey Man Hits Theatres
Dev Patel impresses audiences with his directorial debut in the action-packed film ‘Monkey Man‘, where he also stars as the protagonist Kid.
The movie, drawing inspiration from the Indian mythological figure Hanuman, showcases Kid’s journey from underground fight clubs to seeking revenge against the city’s corrupt elite.
Sharlto Copley‘s character Tiger adds a sinister element to the narrative, while producer Jordan Peele‘s involvement hints at the film’s unique blend of genres.
Pitobash‘s performance adds comic relief as Kid’s sidekick in this Bollywood-meets-Hollywood narrative.
With influences from the ‘John Wick‘ series and Gareth Evans’ ‘Raid‘ films, ‘Monkey Man’ delivers intense action sequences shot in Indonesia, reflecting Patel’s commitment to the project.
