I LOVE that he said fuck you to Hollywood and wrote, produced and directed the movie HIMSELF!!
He has a producer
@@nikhild7002 Yes he does have couple of producers including himself but Jordan peele production brought it from Netflix for theatrical release. So initially, it's dev who wrote, produced, directed & acted in the movie during the film making process.
He didn’t say fuck you to holllywood lol he did the most Hollywood thing imaginable
Isn’t this a Universal film anyway? Doesn’t take away any of his merit, though. It’s like Ryan Reynolds, he started to be taken more seriously everywhere after he made his own film.
@@gaiusx287 err no. He didnt do the most Hollywood thing ever lay off that crack pipe. He would have continued to just take the roles he was offered if he did that. He didn't. He made his own way.
Trivia: Dev Patel was a Taekwondo black belt before he became an actor. Now it's come full circle, finally making use of his Taekwondo black belt.
Nice
I *almost* swept the screen because of your damn profile pic
@@Maxime-lv1ko almost ? I did it ahhhhhhhhhhhh
He is also Hollywoods great fl0p actor
Prince Zuko...
The fact the audience is so responsive and is giving him so much love makes me happy
U do know they pay the audience… hell I’ll scream till my throat is raw for $$$
@@Thirstylion314 that's cap lol, nice try tho
The guy is super likable, well deserved praise
they were trained to that
I loved him as Ramanujan in 'The man who knew infinity'.
He is just incredible in every thing he does… loved him in Lion and my God he was just wow in Modern love
That's a masterpiece indeed.
How can you miss Life of pi
I LOVE Dev Patel, and I haven't gone see a movie in the theater since before Covid...but I'm going to see this one - to support him with this film, I'm SO proud of him!!!
är du svensk?
Bruh you haven't seen a movie in a cinema since covid 😂
SAME!!!
Watch it. It's worth the money.
@@2_Slow_4_You I can beat that. The last film I saw in the cinema was Oliver Stone's 'Snowden', in 2015.
Jimmy’s genuine acknowledgment of Dev Patel, when receiving the t-shirt, and emphasizing the leadership and charisma he clearly bright to this movie production!!! Thanks Jimmy, for the respect you showed him for his incredible commitment to his vision!
As an American, a lot of the critics said a rip off of John Wick. However after watching it, it was nothing like it. Really an amazing movie, I will say one of the best ones this year so far next to Dune 2.
agreed!! just because it uses something as inspiration doesn't mean it will be bad. It's all about intent and Dev smashed it with using something familiar and nostalgic but making it his own!
@@VanessaBerrill Yes, I liked the whole fighting concept that made it more realistic than John Wick who just goes inside a building and slaughters 50 people with ease.
I think its actually so much more interesting than john wick. Dont get me wrong John Wick is a good series and has fantastic action but it doesn’t have much of a philosophy and the story just acts as a vehicle for the action more than anything. Monkey Man’s action is centered around the storytelling, around the culture. It has something to say about the cycle and monopoly of violence, the oppression of minorities, and the dangers of systemic religion and religious power. The action directly ties into its message and vice versa. It’s like Dev Patel said, its an action flick with a soul put into it.
There’s a John Wick joke in the movie
Personally I think it's more accurate to say that this movie is inspired by the same movies that inspired John Wick.
Dev is one of a handful of actors that is always in a film that is worth watching.
except fo the sterotyped roles of marigold hotel and its sequel, and the tv series newsroom -- pandering to the white establishment, thats why he is honest about playing the IT sidekick here.
@@DiamondBodyMedia not everyone is pandering sensitive as you
Literally the only good actor in The Last Airbender.
@@DiamondBodyMediaok just say you’re sensitive got dam🤦🏽
probably better and more truthful to say you are INsensitive@@Kizz217
Dev is so underrated, I hope this film does really well for him. Can't wait to watch
Never 🥴, that human called God Hanuman a monkey and whatnot and did not even know about that, he is a shame for Hindu
@@anupamraj3922You have to see the movie since you are assuming something you dont even know. It is a good movie, go see it
@@anupamraj3922 one quick google search proves you wrong: www.google.com/search?q=is+hanuman+a+monkey&rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS986US986&oq=is+hanuman+a+mon&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBggBEEUYOTIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIICAQQABgWGB4yCAgFEAAYFhgeMggIBhAAGBYYHjIICAcQABgWGB4yDQgIEAAYhgMYgAQYigUyDQgJEAAYhgMYgAQYigWoAgCwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 also "Monkey Man" is an amazing film
@@anupamraj3922 one quick google search proves you wrong. just google "is Hanuman a monkey" and the vast, vast majority of the internet would disagree with you. Hanuman is a MONKEY god. also you've commented multiple times under other posts criticizing literally everybody in the movie. how about you watch the AMAZING movie Dev Patel has created before crying about it in the comments. and if you're that offended by the mere concept of this film and calling it "anti-Indian" and whatnot, remember that this is a MOVIE. and even the film is satire, criticizing and making fun of a nationalistic government. the whole plot is of a man's redemption arc and taking revenge on the corrupt government, tearing it down in the process. the religion and symbols are used to connect the main character to his deeply religious and innocent childhood, which was violently and horribly burned down in front of him along with his mother by the government. religion in this film is used to remind him of his past and to connect him to what his childhood could have been before his family and community were massacred, giving him a strong desire for revenge. while the film is extremely violent (and funny) I see it in no way anti-Indian or anti-Hindu.
@@anupamraj3922 Then what is hanuman? He is a monkey god just like Sun Wukong who is a monkey god. This man put all this effort into this movie, creating such a masterpiece as a indie one. How is it an insult? Indian mythology is something almost no one knows, he increased the people of the world in Hindu mythology. Also it doesn’t cover anything against religion, the problem is that the villain politicians were using orange 🍊cloths and if it was a insult then pk, animal, chaduram, and even kgf is insult as the guy went in and killed the Hindu minister in the parliament building, reflect on yourself you monkey 🐵
Dev Patel UK BRITISH ASIAN legend He put his heart and soul into this. Looking forward to it. Edit: Thanks for all the likes. Just watched this film absolutely SUPERB. Also yes of course he is Indian. Kudos ro representing his nation well. But I always see any South Asian that is not from my country (Bangladesh) as part of a bigger community as one. Also here in the UK we are called British Asians as one group. That is how we identify growing up.
Lets put a pinch of Indian in there too brother. He is a world ambassador but he is also our pride. 😊
@@ankitpant1982 Both of his parents are Kenyan actually. He has Indian heritage but has zero immediate connections to India.
@surindersingh724 they were born in Nairobi but they are Indian Gujrati Hindus. Just so you know.
@@surindersingh724you are 100% wrong dumdum! Don’t force Indian out if Indians. It might work for others but not Indians. The story he said about his dad, Hanuman etc is 100% proof that he is 100% Hindu and Indian thru and thru.
@@CoralBeach1111 I never knew having Kenyan Grandparents, Kenyan Parents and then being born in the UK qualified you as “Indian” 🤣🤣 Get it through your skill you idiot, just because he is a Hindu (there are PLENTY of non-Indian Hindus out there just as there are plenty of non-Pakistani, non-Arabian Muslims) does not make him an Indian. He literally has zero connections with India from a Parental or Birth perspective. Do you think the Fijian golfer Vijay Singh is also Indian? Calm down dumbo.
he truly seems like a genuine kind and sweet man
Had a huge crush on Dev Patel for years. Can't wait to see this.
why the crush? what is it tht does it for u?
LION has a really powerful performance by him. Can't wait for this one. Looks rad.
Great film
❤
Too true. LION is one of the best film experiences in terms of storytelling and heart ❤
No honestly! Every single movie he’s in it’s absolutely beautiful especially slum dog millionaire
I love that movie.
Loved that Dev brough up the fact about Bajranbali/ Hanuman through his conversation, looking forward to his work eagerly!!
Chutiya hanuman bhagwaan ko mythology bol raha yeh kala angrez
I mean that's literally connected to the movie he's there to promote.... of course he'll bring that up in conversation
I was one of those who asked that question...where is that dude? and then he pops up with a fabulous movie that he wrote, produced, directed, starred in etc. Well done Dev and I love the God Hanuman🙌🏿
And what did you ask him ?
@@am.ruth.aliya2168to keep evil arabian cults out of sight.
Dave Patel: A man with die hard passion for action! We are following you!!
He’s gone such a long way since Skins. Such a good actor.
Dev has always been great with virtually everything he's done such underated actor ( lion ,and the green knight are two of my personal favorites films he did), and im absolutely excited to see what he does with money man so happy for him hope this movie is a huge success!
monkey man
Saw it tonight! Great film, action scenes, has deep meaning, vibrant colors, costuming, palette, cinematography, chase scenes, cast & support staff you could tell all ethic people by their names and of course, hot Dev Patel!! Finally!
Clown f l0p actor new movie is only great for people like you who like fl 0p movies. movie is being criticised for being garbage. so don't lie
Getting zakhir Hussain to do a music piece is godamnn amazing ❤
😂😂😂, the worst possibly
You may be kid
Bruh this movie looks super dope. Congrats to Dev Patel, he just keeps raising the bar, even so that Jordan Peele recognizes his talent 🇮🇳🎞
Watched the movie Saturday night...what an absolute masterpiece it was!! Dev deserves all the applause and more!!!
Man, Dev being an UK citizen still shows that he is so much connected to his own roots and land -India ,through his knowledge of Indian Mythology and the hard work , effort and sweat he has given to his film 'Monkey Man' based on his land and roots so that it delivers well...just spellbounded ❤❤❤❤
Are you an indian?this movie shows he doesn't give darn about india.the movie is criticised by indians for its negative potrayal of india. so don't say lies about his false alliance with india.has this so called indian actor ever criticised racism to indians in uk and usa?recently even Eric garcetti usa embassy official was asked about racism to indians.usa,uk and nato t arget innocent countries including for neo colonialism.has this fake so called actor criticised uk usa neo colonialsm?he has alliance to uk and their neo colonialism
@@board4164 but India has both positives and negatives, it's not fully a clean shaved country....the incidents shown in the movie are not false and it happens.....although they are negative which is obviously agreed In bollywood, foreign countries are also shown negative, but they have both positives and negatives for real....so u cannot tell whatever is shown in the movie is false....so very sorry if I hurt u, but I cudn't help it.... And alot of Indians have also liked the film's trailer except the negative potryal of India....
@@guitarprorockstar7882 when did indian movies potray usa,uk,nato or another colonial organisation negatively?Bollywood admires Hollywood so much that it even copied the word hollywood.bollywood admires uk,usa etc.also bollywood portrays india negatively but not uk,usa,eu,nato etc negatively.what bollywood movie portrays about uk,usa,nato causing wars and t argetting millions of innocent people and innocent countries for fake democracies and neo colonialism. do indians create movies about racism in usa,uk to Africans,Asians,indians etc .recently even usa embassy official Eric garcetti was asked about anti indian racism and he rejected to answer properly about racism.where is indian movies about usa brands supporting child slavery in Africa etc ?where are indian movies about jullian assange and Edward Snowden?where are indian movies about how usa,canada etc are yet to be decolonised as it belongs to inuits etc?where is indian movies about usa supported cia causing wars in the globe? with all the negatives usa and uk and their neo colonial wars,Bollywood never portrays usa and uk negatively although it has potrayed india negatively a lot.your logic indians like this movie other than its negative potrayal is a lie.the movie is negative potrayal of india directed by a fl 0p actor who created a cheap copy of John wick.other than the negative potrayal the movie isn't anything. so what are you talking about.also few indians liking this unoriginal copy of john wick doesn't mean indians like it.its like saying because sepoy indians supported British colonialism so all indians supported colonialism. so if you like this unoriginal copy of john wick,fine but don't lie about this fl0p actors alliance with india
@@board4164dude chill
@@board4164calm down....dude touched Hollywood... atleast better than anyone's career who tried to represent the Indian Culture in his best way
Oh yeah. That tabla ABSOLUTELY deserves to be heard in theaters!
The man followed the footsteps of Jackie Chan who also broke bones to make the best film possible.
Dev is a great actor and I can't wait for this movie
Dev did awesome in monkey man and it’s a masterpiece
Have you already watched?
Slum dog millionaire Lion are both classics
Slum dog millionare🤮🤮🤮🤮
Once every couple generations or so, you hear about a real pioneer, doing all the most batshit loony things to make something work and it turns into an empire. This is one of those moments. They practically threw that movie together with duct tape and screws (ACTUAL SCREWS, IN HIS HAND!!!)
Seriously, the guy is an absolute freak of a talent who is standing out in his own weird way . ✌️ Slumdog, Lion , Monkey man wtf
I cannot wait to see this film. Ive been so excited to see Dev Patel in an action film. He is such an incredible actor.
We love dev patel
the sparring between musicians is actually called a jugalband (jugalbandi) and is part of every live musical performance in both Hindustani and Carnatic music culture of India. Nitin Sawhney used this technique in his track "the conversation" way back in the 90s.
Dev Patel is a great actor, or more of an underrated actor so I’m looking forward to his new movie “Monkey Mann” as it’s produced by Jordan Peele. He was great in Lion, Slumdog Millionaire etc. Great to see him doing so well. Big up Jimmy Fallon as well
I've been waiting for this movie and I can't wait to go watch it. Dev is so genuine and such a fantastic actor. He deserves all the praise and success. I'm happy he's back and I hope to see more of him. I truly enjoy him and feel he's just such a sweet man that was raised right.
Dev Patel is the action hero we need❤
We proud of you Dev ...love from India ❤❤
Dev you crushed it. I just saw Monkey man. It blew me away. Keep up the good work!
I'm thinking Dev for James Bond????? Now that would be perfect
That would have been great if the role wasn't already given to Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Unfortunately not white 😢
@@jetpark3743 not really important nowadays. spiderman wasn't black either
@@kooalabeats5388no it’s just that the character is so iconic and he has to be white Cz he was made white.
@@Killy88 idk man. i find spiderman more iconic tbh. I love miles morales too. Majority of people nowadays don''t care about ethnicity. if bond is asian,black,white or brown, it won't be a big issue if the action and screenplay is fire.
He pulled a Rocky on Hollywood can’t wait for his 2nd film as a director. 👊🏼
I love how Dev gave the Hanuman mention, because I immediately recognized the name from the “Persona” franchise and it makes me want to watch it even more now. Props to him still filming while his hand was injured!
You can literally feel his genuine passion for this movie. I always like him as an actor and I’m pretty excited to see the movie! Plus, didn’t know he filmed in my home country. Looking forward to it!
Love from India..Wish Monkey Man was releasing in India 😢😢😢😢 Do something Dev Patel. Can't wait to see you.❤
The BJP doesn't want him to release it in India
@@thatkanpuriaguy8177 a lot of films which comment of religion(other than Hinduism) and culture are produced every year and are respectively denied certification and release in India. There's a reason for it Mr humongous mind
@@shiajinn2509 sure care to give some examples Mr. numbnut. I wonder what is it that the film shows that Modiji the most beloved despot can't allow the makers to release it😏😏🤡
@@thatkanpuriaguy8177you are spreading misinformation but I hope that it should not, hate this guy and movies
@@thatkanpuriaguy8177BJP didn't want you to be born but still here you are.
This movie is INCREDIBLE. I can’t stop thinking about it, and now learning these behind the scenes makes me even more thrilled I got to see it in theaters. Dev Patel deserves all the praise!
I've seen it and it is brilliant ! Congrats Dev Patel for a very good movie ! One of the best I've seen in the last decade !
Just came from watching Monkey Man. Wow it was impressive. Definitely a must watch.
Awesome, stay humble the way you are brother. Its gonna take you to a greater heights. Cheers and good luck to the movie. I just booked my tickets after watching this interview.
It's very rare that I watch a movie twice at the cinema but this was that rare occasion and I've watched it twice. Fantastic movie!
Dev killed it all the way around with this one ! Well done
2:55 SO TRUE LMAOOO, fuck hollywood write yo own roles YES
This film looks awesome…looking forward to seeing it!
I just watched Monkey Man, Dev Patel‘s performance is absolutely powerhouse and amazing!! He’s a great actor, from Lion, to Hotel Mumbai, & now Monkey Man it was all phenomenal!! He is like the new John Wick now, his fighting skills and his talented acting is just perfect!! Great movie very brutal & bloody🔥🔥💯💯
I can't wait to see this on the big screen ❤❤❤ I have always been a fan of Dev. Now he is awe-inspiring and representing Indian's all over the world 😊
Saw Moneky Man yesterday, great action movie, entertaining from start to end...my jaw dropped when i saw the end credits. Respect to DP for wrinting, directing and producing that little gem.
cant wait for this im so hyped
He is an amazing actor
He himself did everything, a great way to achieve resilience and work of courage ....if u can't hire me, I will make my own... All the best Dev
he is a very humble guy
Next cruise in the making.
Its cool but hanuman didn't loose confidence in himself. His memories about his powers were erased when he was a toddler since he showed the gods that he was strong enough to swallow the entire sun mistaking it for a mango (or something around those lines).
No he need guidance to do something
Hats off !❤
Great fight scenes... loved to watch Zakir Hussein playing
Dev you’re a freakin hero!!!
Dev Patel is truly my favorite human on earth there’s truly no words to describe how much I love him
Well done Dev. Hope to see more from you
Hanuman ❤
Lord Almighty Hanuman*, secondly he insulted the strongest 🤬🤬 by calling monkey, carrying a stone
Bro it's true. Hanuman is a monkey. It's not an insult@@anupamraj3922
The Hanuman aka Bhajrang Bali is the same deity after whom the 5th Gear punch was named in one piece.
What's the name of it?
Dragon Ball 's Goku character was inspired from Hanuman.
@@ashaypallav4158 Lord Almighty Hanuman* the peak of physical strength
@@ashaypallav4158 but the author said that it is based on Son wukong...(maybe they are the same in reality, but Baudh Human fake Superiority said that Wukong was a corrupt soul and a servant of human Buddha) but again sun wukong is a fictional character introduction in the 16th century in the Chinese novel 'the journey to the west (India)' and that novel is inspired by Lord Almighty Hanuman and Hindu scriptures like buadh sutras
@@anupamraj3922 yeah they are all kind of the same depictions, the Bajrang Gun was the punch that ended kaido at Wano which definitely was named after Hanumana
Amazing interview jimmys.
Looks absolutely epic and can't wait for this on Friday
Thank you so much Dev
the amount of resilience and perseverance this dude must've shown. truly inspiring. very few like him.
Absolutely amazing film by an outstanding actor turned director and producer !
So overjoyed to listen to Dev Patel and his success bringing his movie to the big screen.
Finally an interesting action movie. I'll definitely go to the movies for this
I love him so much❤.
Amazing actor!!! Super talented
First saw Dev in Skins 💯 he’s all grown up now!
just watched the movie. absolutely amazing piece. replay value, entertainment value is so high on it.
I will always love this man ❤
Zakir Hussain is the GOAT... he is like Slash and John Mayer combined on Tabla
I'm so happy that Dev Patel included Zakir in the movie
🥴🤢🤬
I lovvvvve him.
Loved it It think it's a good social critique of Indian political and religious culture. Visually stunning ❤ Well-executed action sequences.
ive enjoyed every single one of his performances, extremely talented actor. And in a day where hollywood is remaking everything that gave a kid goosebumps in the 90s, its a real treat to have something different to watch.
the movie is so wonderful and powerful! you can tell he put so much dedication into making the film💐
I AM ALWAYS PROUD to be indian when ever DEV patel is in any project!!! he is amazing!!!
dev patel you will forever be famous
