Dev Patel is set to produce and star in TheKeyMan where he will play the disgraced businessman, Arif Naqvi.
It's been a minute since we last saw Dev Patel on our screens in a new project, but that is soon to change. According to Deadline, Patel is set to headline a new show titled The Key Man as its lead and executive producer. The new project is in keeping with Patel's recent preference for indie productions as the show hails from Miramax Television which has recently shown strong interest in developing MENA content.
The Key Man will be based on real-life events and will chronicle the debacle of Pakistani businessman, Arif Naqvi, the founder of Dubai-based private equity firm Abraaj Group. Patel will play the charismatic and sensational Naqvi who successfully defrauded unsuspecting investors for years before his luck ran out.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While the official synopsis for the series is yet to be revealed, The Key Man could likely attempt to demystify Naqvi's fraudulent schemes. True life shows centered on disgraced public figures have continued to maintain an increasing appeal among TV lovers and having Patel's name attached to The Key Man could potentially add to the allure.
Patel will executive produce the limited series alongside Scott Delman and Florence Sloan. The Key Man is clearly in its early developmental stages, however, more details are to be expected as production picks up. In the meantime, you can check out Collider's interview with Patel and Joel Edgerton for The Green Knight below:
