Dev Patel faced a series of injuries while filming his action-packed movie 'Monkey Man,' but his determination to see the project through remained unwavering. In addition to directing and co-writing the film, Patel also stars as Kid, a character seeking justice for his mother's death at the hands of corrupt figures in India. The storyline follows Kid as he enters an underground fight club to earn money, setting the stage for intense action sequences.
During the four-month shoot in Indonesia, Patel encountered numerous challenges that tested his physical endurance. He broke his hand, toes, and tore a shoulder while filming elaborate fight scenes. Eye infections and bruises further added to his list of injuries, with Patel recalling a particularly grim incident involving a flooded bathroom floor.
