Dev Patel, of Slumdog Millionaire and Lion fame, is set to direct and star in the action revenge film Monkey Man, per THR.
At the intersection between age-old mythology and modern Mumbai, Monkey Man tells the tale of ex-convict Kid (Patel), who emerges from prison to a world without values and inundated with corporate greed.
Patel penned the film’s script alongside Paul Angunawela and John Collee (Hotel Mumbai, Happy Feet).
