Dev Patel 'Tripled Down' On Indian Heritage In 'Monkey Man'
"It's one big panic attack waiting to happen!" Dev Patel dishes on his directorial debut "Monkey Man," an action-packed thriller that combines inspiration from Indian mythology and Bruce Lee martial art movies. Dev shares how he "tripled down" on his Indian heritage for the film, and dishes on the many hurdles he faced directing his first movie, including putting a nail into his hand, having to film on his phone after breaking the camera, and shooting during the pandemic. Dev also shares an emotional interaction he had with an Indian fan during the premiere at SXSW.

It was fantastic! Loved it.
I can listen him by hours his talking is so pure
Dev is so humble. Love this guy Saw this movie and it was super badazzzz. Huge fan!!!!!
I watched Monkey Man last night and it was an insane riot of a film! Dev crushed it in performance and has proven he has the chops now to join the league of John Wick and Kill Bill in the action hero genre. I hiiiighly suggest seeing it on the biggest screen and crowd as possible!!
He's so handsome
"We're all the underdogs of our own story" So true. I saw Monkey man last weekend. So proud of Dev Patel ❤
his vision is so pure Glad he is showing potential
This movie is PHENOMENAL you must see it! So exciting tDev is finally getting the recognition he deserves!!!!
That compliment from the gentleman who shook his hand brought a tear to my eye! Representation baby ❤️
I watched this fanatastic breathtaking film just last night and I felt overwhelmed and inspired I started crying!! It truly was a spiritual experience! Been a fan since Skins
Amazing humble Dev ... authentic to the core ... so great that he broke all the barriers to complete the movie... the power of Hunu- Man !

I'm only about a year older than Dev. It's amazing to see how he pulled of this movie after Slumdog. I can't believe how much I loved it. The backstory is more screwed up than Mikasa's so straight no holding back for a revenge plot. This guy wanted to go all in and it turned out awesome.
I watched the movie last night and WOW! What a fun movie. It has a bit of everything.

India has done so much to make this world better. Indians they need to be proud. It was Hindus who starting eating like civilized people...eating vegetarian food, yoga, created Sanskrit language, meditation, chess...created zro in the number system.....so on and for forth.

Hii guys..
Gosh I love him, mom it's him.
i love DEV's action movies. and the same movie came 3 months ago in india with Telugu language super hit. movie name is 'Hanumaan'
There is so much more Dev could create using his Indian heritage. The storytelling in the manner he did in this movie will propel the world into a different realm of moviemaking. This is the time to move away from the usual Hollywood sequels or reproductions decade after decade and create something truly impactful. Way to go my friend. Indeed an opportunity for the big studios to work on something different to promote and encourage. Eitherways, challenge the status quo, the doors will align.

I thought so too. Maybe he should as told specifically not to mention that so as not to put off other religions, especially the very right wing Christians. Just an opinion. Btw I’m Filipina I was born catholic and was a few different religions and have an Aussie husband but got married in Hindu ceremony in Bali with a man dressed as Hanuman part of the ceremony.

@@pario850 authenticity is always better but I guess he’s already doing something that’s so already out of the box for western entertainment and for a “skinny Indian dude” (his words not mine) sometimes feel they can only push so far when spoon feeding new audiences. This is why representation and diversity of all kinds matters so much! Look at the sudden rise of Asian actors in non Asian films and also Asian actors in “regular” roles on tv, films and streaming. Trustingly someday soon we won’t have to water things down for audiences in order for them to consider watching it. Btw the trailer was totally giving Slumdog and John Wick Vibes. I genuinely wish this gets the continued audience and critical support. I’m booking my tix for this week.
It's wierd he looks younger AND older at the same time 😂😂
He reminds me of the story John Cleese told of George Harrison when he asked him why he gave them two million to fund Life of Brian". He stated it's because "I wanted to see the movie".

Dev explained in this interview this movie is low budget. Appearances in TV shows can be costly, so it is normal that the marketing is focusing on the bigger star if they have a limited budget for promotions.
He makes me sweat.
Ohh pls he doesn't know anything about his Indian heritage or history the guy is talented in his craft that's it

I disliked Slumdog (as did many Indians) since it was a very western gaze and amplified the stereotypes about India. I was looking forward to Monkey man because I thought it will be an authentic take and will be a rich cultural portrayal of Indian culture but now seeing the reviews saying its Slumdog millionaire meets John Wick, I think I am not going to waste my money on another Hindu Bashing, poverty porn movie catering to the western audiences.

Just because a movie shows poverty in India doesn’t mean it’s Hindu bashing..it’s actually the reality for a huge portion of the country. In fact, trying to hide that instead of propping up stories is as fake as it gets. Also, it’s kinda sad that watching anything that is a critique of religion makes religious people so soft.

@@Nck480India has extreme poverty ( slum kinds) of below 10%, and still that is the only narrative the west pushes , never showing the remaining 90% and the positive things in India. The image of India is stuck in 1970's. It is not hindu bashing because of showing poverty, but because of saying the oppressors are hindu and hindu govt, which can just be just this story .
That's awesome, but it is not mythology, Hanuman is a very important diety who is prayed to by millions of Hindus the world over, for them Hanuman is as real as Jesus
