Dimple
Kapadia
recently
joined
the
rank
of
international
stars
with
her
Hollywood
debut
with
Christopher
Nolan's
recent
release
Tenet.
The
actress
in
an
interview
had
revealed
that
she
was
reluctant
to
take
on
the
role
at
first.
Now,
talent
manager
Purvi
Lavingia
Vats
has
revealed
how
the
actress
actually
bagged
the
role,
viz.
through
her
performance
in
Dil
Chahta
Hai.
Purvi
Lavingia
Vats
revealed
that
she
had
helped
cast
for
the
2014
Nolan
release
Interstellar,
and
the
team
got
in
touch
with
her
for
Tenet.
She
said,
"Everything
about
the
film
was
very
secretive.
I
just
got
a
single
scene.
It
wasn't
from
the
script,
but
it
had
the
kind
of
character
they
were
looking
for
someone
to
play.
They'd
given
me
very
limited
information
about
the
character
and
an
age
group.
That
was
very
tricky
for
me,
it
was
basically
one's
own
interpretation
of
the
character.
But
based
on
this
limited
brief,
Dimple
came
to
mind."
Despite
Dimple
Kapadia's
hesitation,
Purvi
couldn't
stop
thinking
that
she
was
perfect
for
the
role.
She
revealed
to
have
approached
other
actors
too,
but
kept
checking
with
Kapadia.
Tenet
team
was
keen
on
seeing
Dimple's
audition
too.
Vats
further
added,
"I
even
put
footage
together
of
her
work
and
pulled
out
a
few
scenes
from
Dil
Chahta
Hai
(2001)
and
sent
that
to
the
casting
team.
After
seeing
the
scenes,
they
were
even
more
keen
to
see
her
audition.
She
finally
came
around
and,
as
luck
would
have
it,
Nolan
was
flying
in
for
a
location
scout
and
he
brought
casting
director
John
Papsidera.
So
the
meeting
was
fixed."
Talking
about
the
audition,
she
said
Dimple
had
a
humble
response.
"i
went
to
the
audition
and
waited
outside
anxiously.
Once
it
was
done,
John
came
out
and
said:
She's
recommending
another
actress
for
the
part!
We
had
a
good
laugh," said
Vats.
Purvi
said
the
best
thing
about
Dimple
is
that,
"She's
a
legend
and
yet
so
humble
and
nonchalant.
She's
a
powerhouse
of
talent
and
I'm
so
excited
to
see
what
she
does
next
in
Hollywood."
Notably,
Purvi
Lavingia
Vats
moved
to
Mumbai
in
2010,
after
working
in
casting
departments
of
Twentieth
Century
Fox
Features
and
Warner
Bros.
She
told
Film
Companion
that
she
has
been
trying
to
bridge
the
gap
between
Hollywood
and
the
Indian
film
industry
ever
since.
