London: British actor Dev Patel makes his feature film directorial debut with Monkey Man, an action thriller he also co-wrote, produced and stars in.

A revenge tale set in a fictional Indian city, the film is inspired by the Hindu deity Hanuman, who takes the form of a monkey and symbolises strength and courage.

It sees Patel's character Kid use his street smarts and fighting skills to take down the town's powerful elite who caused him a childhood trauma and who take advantage of the poor and the vulnerable.
