Dev Patel’s directorial debut, Monkey Man, has been acquired by Netflix. The India-set revenge drama, which sees Patel as actor, writer and producer, will release next year. The cast includes Sobhita Dhulipala and South African actor Sharlto Copley. The film is set in the world of corporate greed and eroding spiritual values.
While talking to IANS once, Patel stated, "I had been to India a couple of times as a child but my real exposure to the country happened when I shot for `Slumdog Millionaire`. My love affair with India started while working on the film. I did not understand Indian culture properly while growing up in London. I feel blessed that through `Slumdog Millionaire I got the opportunity to witness India`s beauty and its people in a detailed way."
