Released in Singapore theatres on April 5, 2024, “Monkey Man” marks not only Dev Patel’s directorial debut but also Mathi’s Hollywood debut. In the film, Mathi’s character interacts with Patel’s protagonist, selling various firearms, in a scene that lasts several minutes.

Mathi’s acting journey extends far beyond his memorable role in “Monkey Man.” From his notable appearances in Singaporean Tamil dramas to his impactful role in the 2018 Malaysian Tamil film “Villavan: The Vigilante,” he has showcased remarkable versatility and range as an actor. In addition to acting, he is also an experienced director and writer. One of his recent projects as a director and screenwriter has been for Astro’s Kaathal Maathiri series.

Throughout his career, he has had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed figures in the industry, such as Kollywood icons Ajith and Stayaraj. Mathi made his debut in the Kollywood industry with a significant role in the Ajith film “Poovellam Un Vaasam,” marking the beginning of a promising career trajectory. His contributions to Kollywood films like “Penguin” and “Kanchana 2” further solidify his place as a talented actor with a diverse range of roles. His work on “Peguin” is particularly noteworthy because it earned him the 14th Edison Awards in Chennai for Best Character Artiste Overseas.
