Filmmaker Christopher Nolan and Hollywood star Robert Pattinson were in Mumbai for 10 days for their upcoming film 'Tenet.' The movie also features John David Washington and Michael Caine and Bollywood actor Dimple Kapadia in pivotal roles. Nolan, along with the cast members, was spotted near the Gateway of India for a street scene. Also featuring Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Kenneth Branagh and Himesh Patel, 'Tenet' is slated for a July 17, 2020 release. Nolan is best-known for directing critically acclaimed films like 'The Prestige', 'Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight' series, 'Interstellar' and 'Memento.
'Tenet' is described as “an action epic which is about the world of international espionage.” While Nolan is seen in motion in the images, Dimple can be seen getting ready for a shot dressed in an orange-coloured salwar suit, which she paired with a red shawl. She was also photographed talking to John David, a former footballer, who has earned a Golden Globe nomination for his work in 2018 drama-crime 'BlacKkKlansman.' Son of veteran actor Denzel Washington, John David is also known for his work on 'HBO's Ballers.'
Last year, Nolan had visited India in March to create awareness about celluloid films in the digital era and to "engage with people from one of the greatest film cultures in the world." He had also met several celebrities such as Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Shah Rukh Khan then. In an interview, the director revealed his motive behind his three-day visit to India and said: "One of the reasons why I am here in India, other than I believe in the cause of saving celluloid films, is to meet more people from the Indian film industry and engage with the people from one of the greatest film cultures of the world... To learn more about it."
'Tenet' is a thriller written and directed by Nolan himself. The film, which is a high-octane action espionage drama, will extensively be shot across seven countries. It is expected to open in theatres in July next year.
