Dev Patel on casting Sobhita Dhulipala in Monkey Man, “Not only she is breathtakingly beautiful but she carries pain well”

Sobhita Dhulipala has a number of memorable performances to her credit. The actress is now all geared up for her much awaited Hollywood debut with Dev Patel’s directorial Monkey Man. The anticipation amongst her fans for her debut is high.

Recently Dev Patel, who has been extensively promoting the movie, opened up about his decision to cast Sobhita Dhulipala. Dev shared, “Not only is she breathtakingly beautiful, but she carries pain well as a performer. I wanted to find a leading woman that was trapped in a corrupt system like my character but somehow she has a strength and takes the lead in our interactions. She’s not a damsel in distress but instead a woman caught up in a horrible reality. She notices this young man is struggling and, in fact, stops him from being exposed.”

Known for her performances in acclaimed Indian series like Made in Heaven, The Night Manager, and the movie Raman Raghav 2.0, Sobhita brings a wealth of acting experience and versatility to her Hollywood debut. In Monkey Man, she portrays a character who exhibits resilience amidst adversity, a role that aligns with her ability to deliver nuanced performances.

Monkey Man, for which Patel also contributed to the screenplay alongside Paul Angunawela and John Cooley, promises to be a captivating cinematic experience. With Dhulipala’s inclusion in the cast, audiences eagerly anticipate witnessing her talent shine on the global stage.
