After Monkey Man, Vipin Sharma continues to expand his international footprint with two high-profile global projects, A24’s The Peasant and Netflix US The Big Fix. The actor, who appeared in Dev Patel’s 2024 action thriller Monkey Man, is now part of Patel’s next directorial, The Peasant, a revenge-action thriller set in the 14th century. Backed by A24, the film marks the studio’s first-ever production to have been shot in India and features an international ensemble including Christian Friedel, Sebastian Bull.
He is also part of Netflix’s upcoming crime thriller The Big Fix, directed by Baltasar Kormákur and starring Mark Wahlberg and Riz Ahmed. Inspired by a true story and based on Brett Forrest’s book, the film follows a former Interpol officer working inside FIFA who uncovers a global match-fixing scandal.
While details about Sharma’s characters in both films are currently under wraps, his presence across these projects points to a steady and significant international phase in his career. From Monkey Man to two major global studio-backed films, the actor continues to find space in stories that travel across cultures, industries, and audiences.
Vipin Sharma on being part of A24’s The Peasant and Netflix’s The Big Fix and Dear Jassi , “It has been a very fulfilling phase for me as an actor. Monkey Man was a special chapter, and working with Dev Patel was creatively very rewarding. To now be a part of The Peasant, with Dev once again building such an ambitious world as a filmmaker, feels very meaningful. My relationship with him has gone beyond director-actor. We have become a family. What makes this phase exciting is that while I have continued to do a lot of work in India, interesting international projects are also opening up for me. The Peasant and The Big Fix are very different films, but both come with strong directors, strong creative worlds, and teams that make you want to push yourself further as an actor. And in between was another experience of having worked with Tarsem Singh on his film Dear Jassi. Tarsem is a dream director for many actors. His visual flare is a global phenomenon and the way he works with his actors is very unique. It was a great learning experience!”
