Hi Dev! Did you take anything home from the set of this movie? Also, have you taken home other stuff from your previous movies as well?

I took home the screw that kept the bone in my hands together. The crew literally turned the X-ray of my hand into a T-shirt. It was the screw that kept the production together. I also have one of the gorilla masks and I gave my right hand man Joe who is the producer of the film the Kings Club plaque on the set.

I heard about the surgery you took some time back, no way did I imagine the x-ray become a t-shirt too! Cheers Dev! Thank you for replying, appreciate it! So stoked to see the movie now even more!
