British actor Dev Patel’s directorial debut Monkey Man premiered in Singapore last week. Those who managed to catch the film  may have noticed a familiar face in the cast.

Local actor Mathi Alagan, who many Singaporeans will remember as Bhaskar Ram in Mediacorp long-form drama Tanglin (2015), or Sanjay Devaraj in Code of Law (2012), plays a guns dealer in the India-set action-thriller.
