Monkey Man: Did You Know Dev Patel Had To Cut Crucial Scene Because Of Political Reasons?
Monkey Man: Dev Patel, who made his directorial debut with Monkey Man, has received great feedback since its release internationally. Makarand Deshpande plays an important role in the film as well. In a new interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Makarand recounted how Dev apologized to him at the Monkey Man's LA premiere for deleting portions of a sequence featuring him.
Monkey Man: Dev Patel Cut Crucial Scene Due To Political Reasons
Actor Makarand said, ¡°For the premiere of Monkey Man, I went to California. Before that, Dev said he wants to have a word with me. He said, ¡®That¡¯s the scene I love the most, but we had to edit it for some reason¡ for some political (reason)¡ you understand,¡¯ and he just mumbled. I kept on looking at him and said, ¡®Dev, wasn¡¯t that scene the philosophy of your film?¡¯ He was like, ¡®Oh yes, man, but you will still like your role, I am sorry, but you will like it.¡¯¡±
He went on to add, ¡°When I saw the film, I said no problem. But I know that scene ¡ª woh ahar rehta toh kya maza aata (if that scene was kept it would have been amazing). It had that punch, an edited scene won¡¯t matter to the audience, but it matters to the actor. In my understanding, it was the rooh (soul) of the film, it may not be for Dev. It is getting a lot of critical acclaim, might be in the Oscar race later and is like their Satya.¡±
