Mumbai: Dimple Kapadia, who is all set to feature in Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet', was initially hesitant about the film as she did not have the details but then decided to tape an audition, her career's first, the actor's talent manager said.
Nolan, one of the most prestigious directors in Hollywood, flew down to Mumbai to meet Kapadia along with the casting director.
"We suggested her name for this film to them. Following which, I brought this up to her. She was initially a bit hesitant as she did not have an idea about her role in detail. I just briefed her.
"She got interested and taped her audition. This is the first time she auditioned for a film," Purvi Lavigia Vats, her talent manager, told PTI.
Nolan, it seems, was convinced that Kapadia was the right choice after seeing the audition tape.
"They had come here (in Mumbai) recently to meet her. They were really interested in meeting her and to know more about her," Purvi said.
"Things are being finalised and Kapadia is most likely to shoot this year for the film," Purvi said without divulging further details.
'Tenet' is Nolan's follow-up to his Oscar-nominated war drama 'Dunkirk' and besides Kapadia will feature Robert Pattinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kenneth Branagh, Clemence Poesy, Michael Caine, John David Washington and Elizabeth Debicki in the film.
