Abhishek Sharma: Munkeeman

Il regista Abhishek Sharma si lancia in un progetto del tutto nuovo: firma Munkeeman, un fumetto ispirato al fantomatico Monkey Man. Tere Bin Laden director pens graphic novel, Hindustan Times, 13 febbraio 2012: 'The graphic novel is said to be inspired by Monkey Man, a half-monkey, half-human creature, which allegedly attacked and petrified people in Delhi in 2001. This was also used as a subplot in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's film Delhi-6. “It is not just an ordinary comic. It is a tale of a monster who thinks that he's a superhero. It is a tragedy of a brother who loves his stepsister. It is an experiment of a scientist that has gone horribly wrong. It is after all a comic with a decent dose of sex and violence,” Abhishek said in a statement. “Why Munkeeman? That's the question every person who remembers the mass hysteria of 2001 is going to ask. Well, my answer is simple - he has been ignored for a very long time and before he comes back to draw some more attention to himself, let's give him his due. This is his story in his own words. He wanted someone like me to make a movie on him but for now this is the best I could do," he added'.
