The release of Monkey Man, featuring Sobhita Dhulipala and directed by Dev Patel, faces uncertainty in Indian theatres. The action-packed trailer of the film garnered global attention earlier this year, stirring excitement among movie buffs. In fact, the Indian audience is eagerly waiting for its premiere. However, with the recent buzz surrounding the release date of Monkey Man in India, fans are wondering whether it will be delayed.
Dev Patel, Sobhita Dhulipala’s Monkey Man globally to release on April 5, 2024
The highly anticipated release of Monkey Man, marking Sobhita Dhulipala’s Hollywood debut, has stirred a whirlwind of excitement among fans.
Initially, it was announced that Monkey Man film will be released in the USA and other major territories on April 5, 2024. This will be followed by an eagerly anticipated release in India on April 19, 2024. However, the latest developments have thrown a curveball into the mix. Recent social media posts by Universal Pictures India have omitted any mention of the April 19 release date. Instead, the posts feature a cryptic “Coming soon” message.
Adding to the confusion, ticket platforms have removed the previously advertised release date. The sudden shift has prompted a flurry of inquiries from Indian fans seeking clarity on whether Monkey Man will indeed release in the country or not.
Meanwhile, Sobhita Dhulipala shared a brand new poster of her and Dev Patel’s upcoming movie with a caption declaring, “Monkey Man 5th April, globally in theatres only.” Although Dhulipala’s announcement seems to suggest a unified global release date, it has left audiences wondering if the same applied to theaters in India.
Behind the scenes, concerns regarding Dev Patel’s film’s content have emerged. This is mostly related to the depiction of violence in the film. Monkey Man explores themes that could potentially stir controversies or offend specific audiences. Hence, the clearance process could be a meticulous process. This might lead to a delay of up to a week if issues arise.
Until then, fans must wait with bated breath, hoping for clarity amidst the chaos surrounding the release of Monkey Man.
