Does Dev Patel have a big following somewhere for some reason? 
 

I know the SXSW crowd can be a bit hysterical, but this sounds very promising.

Oh, I go on no less than two pop culture sites who are enamored with him and he's been consistently working, even if it wasn't super high profile stuff. Something on Amazon, now Henry Sugar, I still like those Grand Budapest Hotel movies.

@charlie Jatinder is Dev Patel big in India. I hope it breaks out over there at least 🙂

nope. he has no face value.

 

In fact even in US Indian diaspora he would have no pull I imagine.

The trailer views at 17M on You Tube are HUGE. This should be a good run to follow.

Unfortunate. Should have cast Shahrukh khan instead. At least would have ensured it broke out in India.

I wonder if it’s just because Discussing Film’s audience is mainly the 18-24 male online crowd that this film is targeting. The ones who say “meh” and “mid” etc lol. But 100k+ likes on a tweet is a lot.

Patel is an amazing actor and apparently a good director. I hope this does well.

[Hatebox]

Patel’s career insane. So he’s the next great action director? Sure, why not!

Patel easily one of the best stars of his generation. There are not many leading man stars in the 30s age group.

Patel has been mentioned as a potential James Bond. The buzz he is getting off this might only help. Maybe he should direct and star.
