in one Interview With the magazine, Dev opened up about making Monkey Man despite physical injuries and a challenging shooting schedule amid the lockdown. “I broke my hand on the first or second day of that shoot. I found a doctor online who was putting screws in bones in Jakarta. we managed to get one [medical] jet so that the insurance company doesn’t red flag it as a violation of our [COVID] Bubble. I came back to work the next day and we moved forward. This was a way to avoid having this cast on my hands because we wouldn’t be able to paint it. “Baptism by fire,” he said.
