The Made In Heaven 2 star also opened up about working with Dev Patel in Monkey Man. Talking about their dynamic, she said that it is a different kind of relationship altogether.
"There’s trust, fear, vulnerability, and you move as one pack, one team. There’s a certain purity and passion there — working with a first-time filmmaker. So I came on board, I jumped on board," she said.
About Monkey Man
Helmed by Dev Patel, the film was completed in 2021 and then sold to an OTT platform for reportedly 30 million dollars. The film marks Dev's directorial debut and stars Sharlto Copley, Pitobash, Sikandar Kher, Vipin Sharma, Ashwini Kalsekar, Adithi Kalkunte and Makarand Deshpande in supporting roles.
Monkey Man portrays a man’s quest for vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to victimize the poor, powerless people. The film is inspired by the legend of Hanuman.
Meanwhile, Monkey Man was released worldwide on April 5 but was postponed in India. Even though the action movie was anticipated with a release date of 19 April, it is still in doubt, as the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in India has not given it a go. According to Bollywood Hungama, the decided release of Monkey Man, which was on 19 April will only be possible if the censorship process gets completed on time but if not, the film will be pushed to the next weekend, which is 26 April.
