In theaters this Wednesday, the first film by Dev Patel, the hero of "Slumdog millionaire," tells the destiny of a man fond of fighting. The film was due to arrive in theaters in India on April 19, right on the day of the start of voting in the legislative elections, but is still waiting for its release visa there.
Placed under the august reference of "John Wick' (the film saga with Keanu Reeves is mentioned by name by a character), the feature film also evokes the cornerstones of Asian fighting cinema, such as 'The Godfather' and 'Karate Kid.' The film is co-financed by Universal or Monkeypaw, the production house of Jordan Peele (the director of 'Get out' and 'Nope'). Dev Patel is of British nationality, but born to parents of Indian origin, goes all out and doesn't hold back with the homeland and culture of his ancestors!
