Monkey Man sees Patel's unnamed character (referred to as 'Kid') going on a revenge spree against the corrupt operatives of an Indian political party who attacked his village when he was a child. Patel's lens widens to capture hints of poverty and fanaticism, reflecting India's current climate of religious extremism.
One report suggests Netflix's reluctance to release 'Monkey Man' was due to anxieties over the film's depiction of the political landscape in India, where the story is set.
October 29, 2018: The world first learns of Patel's 'Monkey Man' plans, describing the plot involving a character grappling with a world marked by 'corporate greed and eroding spiritual values.'
