“An absolute joy”: Sobhita Dhulipala on Dev Patel’s Monkey Man
In a groundbreaking career move, Sobhita Dhulipala, celebrated for her role in Made In Heaven, is gearing up to make her Hollywood debut with Monkey Man.

Furthermore, Variety aptly describes it as “an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.”
The film’s inspiration from the legend of Hanuman adds cultural depth to the story. On the whole, promising a unique blend of action and mythology that will captivate the audience.
Furthermore, industry stalwarts, including Anurag Kashyap, lauded Monkey Man for its promising content. Kashyap, who directed Dhulipala’s debut movie Raman Raghav 2.0 expressed his excitement on social media.
The actress reciprocated, sharing she auditioned for the role in Monkey Man back in 2016. Just a day before she departed for the Cannes Film Festival for Raman Raghav 2.0.
In conclusion, with Dev Patel at the helm and Sobhita Dhulipala making her Hollywood debut, Monkey Man promises a thrilling cinematic experience.
