Well said Lynlang!
If you have no reason to be a target and attract monkeys then you will have nothing to worry about...So in order to do this don't carry food, and leave all your accessories such as sunglasses etc in the car or in your backpack. Respect the monkeys and give them their space.
I've been to the monkey forest on numerous occasions and never once had any problems with any monkeys whilst there. I have seen a few incidents by tourists grabbing monkeys etc, but obviously caused by their own provoking.
I would say it's definately worth a visit.
