Actor Sikander Kher has expressed his disappointment over the fact that Hollywood film Monkey Man, directed by Dev Patel, has not been released in India. Kher, who made his Hollywood debut in the film, addressed the issue by receiving the Governor Award of Excellence Award from the State of West Bengal.

During his acceptance speech, Kher accepted the disappointment of the Indian audience who are eager to watch the film. “I can’t say that this is not disappointing because I have many people who keep asking where and when they can see. If it was in my hand, I would release it yesterday,” he said.

The actor emphasized his desire for his work seen by the audience in his country. “You want your people to look at their work at home, especially people who are rooting for you. This is unfortunate, but I hope they get a chance to see it at some point, ”he said.

Internationally released in April 2024, the monkey man has received positive reviews abroad from critics and audiences. The film marked the beginning of Dev Patel’s direction and played an important role to Kher.

So far, no official statement has been made about whether the film will be released in India later.
