The future of Dev Patel’s highly anticipated directorial debut, Monkey Man, continues to be uncertain as India’s film certification body is accused of delaying its release by not holding a screening for its advisory panel, according to reports.
Monkey Man, which premiered at South by Southwest Festival (SXSW) on 11 March and was originally scheduled to be released in India on 19 April, is an action drama and follows the British actor’s unnamed character in a fictional Indian city on a revenge spree against corrupt officials of an Indian right-wing political party.
