Former Miss India, Sobhita Dhulipala is all set to make her big Hollywood debut, with the upcoming action thriller film ‘Monkey Man’. The film marks the directorial debut of actor Dev Patel, who is also essaying the titular role, the film revolves around an unlikely hero who emerges from prison to take on a world enmeshed in corporate greed and eroding spiritual values, and seeking revenge from those who took everything from him years before. Set in modern-day India, the film features South African actor Sharlto Copley and Hindi actor Sikandar Kher besides Dev Patel and Sobhita Dhulipala. Speaking on her Hollywood debut, Sobhita told Hindustan Times “I had auditioned for it almost five years ago and I got a call back in a few days for a screen test with Dev. I remember, it was on the day I was leaving for the Cannes Film festival with my first film Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016). What appealed to me about the project is that it’s a collaborative spirit, a young and rather eccentric approach to the story and most certainly the people involved. I really enjoyed my character’s tender dilemmas, they were as glamorous as sorrowful.”Netflix has reportedly acquired the worldwide rights of the film by shelling out $30M. Patel has also penned the film’s script with Paul Angunawela and John Collee, with the title partly inspired by the Hindu mythological deity Hanuman. Besides her Hollywood project, Sobhita has the Hindi-Telugu bilingual ‘Major’, Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan, Malayalam film Kurup and Hindi project Sitara in the pipeline.
