Monkey Man | In Conversation: Exploring Heritage with Dev Patel

Dev Patel brings his perspective to the action genre with @‌monkeymanmovie, as he talks us through his passion for showcasing his culture and the meaning behind this action-packed event. #MonkeyManMovie only in theaters this Friday. #MakeItUniversal
------
Oscar® nominee Dev Patel (Lion, Slumdog Millionaire) achieves an astonishing, tour-de-force feature directing debut with an action thriller about one man’s quest for vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to systemically victimize the poor and powerless.
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.
After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Packed with thrilling and spectacular fight and chase scenes, Monkey Man is directed by Dev Patel from his original story and his screenplay with Paul Angunawela and John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World).
The film’s international cast includes Sharlto Copley (District 9), Sobhita Dhulipala (Made in Heaven), Pitobash (Million Dollar Arm), Vipin Sharma (Hotel Mumbai), Ashwini Kalsekar (Ek Tha Hero), Adithi Kalkunte (Hotel Mumbai), Sikandar Kher (Aarya) and Makarand Deshpande (RRR).
Monkey Man is produced by Dev Patel, Jomon Thomas (Hotel Mumbai, The Man Who Knew Infinity), Oscar® winner Jordan Peele (Nope, Get Out), Win Rosenfeld (Candyman, Hunters series), Ian Cooper (Nope, Us), Basil Iwanyk (John Wick franchise, Sicario films), Erica Lee (John Wick franchise, Silent Night), Christine Haebler (Shut In, Bones of Crows) and Anjay Nagpal (executive producer of Bombshell, Greyhound).
Serving as executive producers are Jonathan Fuhrman, Natalya Pavchinskya, Aaron L. Gilbert, Andria Spring, Alison-Jane Roney and Steven Thibault.
Universal Pictures presents a Bron Studios production, a Thunder Road film, a Monkeypaw production, a Minor Realm/S’Ya Concept production, in association with WME Independent and Creative Wealth Media.

There are rarely any Indian/South Asian leads in North American films. If there is, they play roles such as the comedic sidekick or a computer hacker as an example. I’m so happy that there’s someone South Asian kids and also adults can look up to that represents them in this space. Hoping this movie impresses and there’s more opportunities for Asian people in general in North American media.

Irfan did some wonderful roles when he was around.

[@imfa-cinema257]

This film was an absolute BANGER. Easily more badass even than John Wick and because it turned to the best inspiration action and revenge cinema has ever produced - Ong Bak, Raid Redemption, Oldboy, I Saw The Devil - yet it also had layers of culture more rich than even those films. Monkey Man is something special. Easily the new standard of a film experience I'd call truly "Primal".

[@BOBBOB-dy9xw]

Dev Patel is a LEGEND

[@yahyeet6637]

I felt the same when I was younger. I ran from my culture.... but now I embrace it. Never knew we had such rich history and culture.

Thank you for putting Ancient Bharatwarsha before the international audience. If you are Bharatiya, culture couldn't let you escape , you have you come back to the origin

[@siddharthray2059]

Bro they are releasing it in India with major cuts because his origin has to do something with Godhra riots. XD

[@univrsal999]

​@@siddharthray2059Guardian described the movie with "as a boisterous satire of Modi-esque nationalism", oh man this person is expecting the right things from the movie. xD

[@cinefile0075]

​@@univrsal999its anti hindutva film to be precise. Its actually hinduism (Hanuman) against hindutva (politicisation of Hinduism). You can say it from the trailer only. Btw funniest thing is it also casts sikander kher (Anupam and bjp memeber Kiran Kher) son. Lol
