Slumdog Millionaire and Lion star Dev Patel will be taking his first venture behind the camera with the upcoming action revenge pic Monkey Man, in which he will also star in the lead role.
Endeavor Content will be handling the sales for the film’s rights in the international markets while Basil Iwanyk producing for Xeitgeist alongside Samarth Sahni (Show Dogs) and Patel.
Production is set to begin on the film sometime in the spring of 2019 in Mumbai.
“Monkey Man is a vibrant, thrilling and above all entertaining story and we are excited to be teaming up with Dev, who has great creative instincts making him a natural director,” Iwanyk said.
