Nolan and cast interact with Mumbai audiences
Nolan interacted with the Mumbai audience directly after the premiere screening. Actors Tom Holland and Matt Damon, who also attended the screening, stood beside the filmmaker during the post-screening event.
"I am coming to Mumbai again! This is not the first time I am here in Mumbai. But it is the first time that we get the chance to launch a film here. So you are among the first audiences in the world to see this film!" said the Oscar-winning director.
He then asked, "By the way, did you like the film?" The audience erupted in loud cheers in response. He smiled and went on to add, "Who is better? Matt or Tom?" Both actors smiled as the audience cheered on.
Nolan went on to say, "They are both fantastic. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for welcoming us. It is always a thrill to be in India." He said he has filmed in India twice before, with schedules in Jodhpur and Mumbai. "Every time we come here, it's very, very special. For many years, I have wanted to come here and launch one of our films and experience it with the Indian audiences, who are some of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable cinematic audiences in the world. So it is such a thrill to be here," he added.
