Cinephiles on Twitter were ecstatic when it was recently announced that Christopher Nolan had picked none other than Dimple Kapadia to be a part of his upcoming release. So, is there a story behind Dimple Kapadia signing up for Nolan’s Tenet?

According to a source, Nolan apparently wanted Dimple Kapadia to really try for the role. When Nolan was in India for a recce a couple of weeks back, he scheduled an appointment and met up with Dimple Kapadia and did an impromptu line-reading session. He was so pleased with it that he signed her up.

Nolan is known to be quite secretive about his scripts and so even the scene given to audition for the actors is not from the film. In addition to this, directors and casting agents in the West prefer to have audition tapes of actors when casting for a film. The team of Tenet saw footage of Dimple’s previous work and came to a consensus that she was the right person for the part.

This would be Dimple Kapadia’s first foray into Hollywood films. The talented actor has been doing work very selectively in Bollywood as well, and will be seen with an ensemble cast comprising of Robert Pattinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Caine and others in Nolan’s upcoming film Tenet.

Tenet is being filmed in seven countries, and one of the locations is expected to be India. Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are producing while Thomas Hayslip is serving as executive producer.

Tenet has a release date of July 17, 2020.
