Former actor and author Twinkle Khanna recently interviewed Tenet filmmaker Christopher Nolan as the film finally hit the screens in India, earlier this month.
Former
actor
and
author
Twinkle
Khanna
recently
interviewed
Tenet
filmmaker
Christopher
Nolan
as
the
film
finally
hit
the
screens
in
India,
earlier
this
month.
The
director
opened
up
about
Dimple
Kapadia's
casting,
what
he
loves
about
Bollywood
and
its
comparison
to
Hollywood
films.
Dimple
Kapadia
was
seen
playing
the
role
of
an
arms
dealer
called
Priya
in
Tenet.
She
helps
John
David
Washington
as
he
fights
against
time
to
avoid
the
third
World
War.
In
an
interview,
it
was
revealed
that
Dimple
Kapadia
after
her
audition
with
Nolan,
was
suggesting
other
actors
for
the
part,
instead
of
her.
Nolan
confirmed
the
same
and
added
that
it
was
one
of
the
reasons
he
loved
working
with
her.
He
also
revealed
that
this
was
not
the
first
time
it
has
happened.
"I
think
it
was
Liam
Neeson
for
Batman
Begins
and
he
immediately
started
recommending
other
actors
saying,
'No
no
no,
You
don't
want
me.'
I
don't
quite
know
what
goes
into
that
thinking
on
the
part
of
the
great
actor.
If
anything,
it
makes
you
more
excited
to
work
with
that
person
because
you
see
a
sense
of
modesty
about
them,
you
see
a
sense
of
nervousness
in
a
way.
That's
the
kind
of
creative
person
that
you
want
to
collaborate
with.
It
was
a
really
really
fun
audition
actually,
for
me," Christopher
Nolan
added.
Talking
about
Bollywood
he
confessed
to
being
a
fan.
He
believes,
"Bollywood
films
have
a
sort
of
primal
sensibilities.
They've
got
broad
strokes,
operatic
sensibility.
Not
unlike
what
in
Hollywood
we
have
been
doing
with
the
superhero
genre.
They
are
very
big,
broad
movements
of
entertainment
and
music,
sound,
image
all
coming
together.
I
think
some
of
the
energy
of
Bollywood
films
is
missing
a
little
bit
from
what
Hollywood
is
doing."
Meanwhile,
Tenet
hit
the
theatres
in
India
on
December
4
and
clocked
an
opening
weekend
collection
of
Rs
4.25
crore.
The
film
also
stars
Robert
Pattinson,
Elizabeth
Debicki,
Michael
Caine,
and
Kenneth
Branagh
in
pivotal
roles.
