Monkey Man: Director, Cast, Plot:

Oscar® nominee Dev Patel (Lion, Slumdog Millionaire) makes a stunning directorial debut with an action thriller that chronicles one man’s quest for revenge against the corrupt leaders who killed his mother and they continue to systematically victimize the poor and weak.

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, the symbol of strength and courage, Monkey Man sees Patel in the role of Kid, an anonymous young man who earns his living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody from more famous wrestlers in exchange for money.

After years of pent-up anger, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the city’s sinister elite enclave. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive wave of vengeance to settle scores 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 screenplay with Paul Angunawela and John Collee (Master & Commander: The Edge of the Sea).

The film’s international cast includes Sharlto Copley (District 9), Sobhita Dhulipala (Made in Heaven), Pitobash (Million Dollar Arm), Vipin Sharma (Mumbai Attack – A True Story of Courage), Ashwini Kalsekar (Ek Tha Hero), Adithi Kalkunte (Mumbai Attack – A True Story of Courage), Sikandar Kher (Aarya) and Makarand Deshpande (RRR).
