Dev Patel writing screenplay based on old hindu mythology for his upcoming 'hyper-modern' action film
“I’m Writing A Hyper-modern Action Film, Based On 5,000-year-old Hindu Mythology, Set In A Heightened Bombay - An Anthem For Youth,' Dev Patel Said.
Actor Dev Patel says he is working on a screenplay based on Hindu mythology.
The ‘Lion’ actor said he is writing a “hyper-modern” action film which he sees as an “anthem for youth,” reported Female First.
“I’m writing a hyper-modern action film, based on 5,000-year-old Hindu mythology, set in a heightened Bombay - an anthem for youth,” Patel said.
The 26-year-old actor, who has not studied acting, said he has polished his craft from working with “great directors” and co-stars such as Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, and Nicole Kidman.
“(My co-stars) have a curiosity about life, a sense of humour and emotional reserve. I never went to acting school. Everything I’ve learned, I’ve learned from great directors and my co-stars.
“Acting is about honesty. When I began, I was trying to squeeze as much emotion out of roles as I could and get big laughs. Now it’s about doing less, cutting away the fat,” he said.
