Sobhita Dhulipala Opens Up On Her Hollywood Debut With Monkey Man: 'My Character Left Me Feeling...'

Sobhita Dhulipala has been on a roll. The actress was last seen in The Night Manager Part 2 and Made In Heaven 2. She is all geared up for her highly anticipated Hollywood debut with Monkey Man, in which she will be sharing the screen with the Oscar-nominated Dev Patel. The film will hit the theatres on April 5 this year. Recently, in an interview, the actress opened up about her Hollywood debut and also looked back on her career.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actress spoke about the time when her debut film, Raman Raghav 2.0, got nominated at the Cannes Film Festival, which boosted her morale and outlook. “I draw motivation from my ability to submit to my instincts and being unafraid to be myself. I am entirely focused on telling exciting stories. Language and medium, no bar,” she shared.

She further added that working in Monkey Man was a complete ‘roller coaster’ for her. She shared, “My character has a very distinct texture that’s unlike anything I’ve seen. It left me feeling inspired and even more in love with cinema. The action, the music, the style, and the raw emotion. It’s going to be a sensory feast.”

Earlier last year, the makers dropped the trailer for the film. The trailer revealed that Monkey Man revolved around a man (Dev) and his revenge against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother. It began with Dev recalling his mother telling him the story of Lord Hanuman, as he then argued that the rich do not see poor as humans in ‘this city’. The trailer then showed Dev wearing a gorilla mask as he fought goons to get justice. It also shared a glimpse of Sobhita but did not reveal much detail about her character.

Sharing the trailer on her Instagram handle, Sobhita wrote, “An absolute joy to share the trailer of my debut Hollywood film, #MonkeyMan, releasing on April 5th across theatres globally.”

Besides Dev Patel and Sobhita Dhulipala, Monkey Man also stars Makarand Deshpande, Sikandar Kher, Sharlto Copley, Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Adithi Kalkunte, and Ashwini Kalsekar.

Meanwhile, the buzz is that Sobhita Dhulipala has also been roped in for a key role in Alia Bhatt’s upcoming movie, Jigra. The speculation started after netizens noticed that Alia followed Sobhita back on Instagram recently. A viral post that surfaced on the microblogging site X, formerly known as Twitter, also claimed that Sobhita Dhulipala is on board for Alia Bhatt’s Jigra. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this as of now.
