Dev Patel is set to make his feature directorial debut with the highly anticipated action movie 'Monkey Man.' The film recently premiered at SXSW to rave reviews, showcasing Patel's talents as a director, actor, and producer. However, the journey to bring 'Monkey Man' to the big screen was far from easy.
In a recent Reddit AMA session, Patel shared the challenges he faced during the production of the film. From financial struggles to unexpected setbacks, Patel described the process as the most demanding experience of his life. The initial plan to shoot in India was derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a pivot to a remote island in Indonesia where a makeshift production bubble was created for the crew.
