Mumbai: Actor Akshay Kumar on Saturday mentioned he was overwhelmed with joy soon after filmmaker Christopher Nolan penned a note for veteran star Dimple Kapadia, praising her exceptional overall performance in his directorial “Tenet”.
The espionage-thriller, which released theatrically in the nation on Friday, marks the Hollywood debut of Kapadia. In the note, which was shared by Kumar on Twitter, Nolan mentioned he had absolutely nothing but “love, admiration and respect” for the 63-year-old actor, who plays arms dealer Priya Singh in the film.
“Dimple, what can I say. Working with you has been a delight. Watching you bring Priya to life all around the world has been fantastic. Thank you for your great skill and hardwork and for lending your talent to ‘Tenet’,” the note study. Kapadia attributes in “Tenet” along with actors like John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Caine, Clemence Poesy, and Himesh Patel.
Kumar mentioned Nolan’s praise for the veteran was a proud moment for him, each as an artiste and a son-in-law. The “Laxmii” star is married to Kapadia’s daughter actor Twinkle Khanna. “Here’s my proud son-in-law moment! #ChristopherNolan pens a heartfelt note to #DimpleKapadia on the eve of their release. Had I been in her place, I wouldn’t have been able to move in awe, but having watched her working her magic in #Tenet, I couldn’t be more happy and proud of Ma,” the 53-year-old actor mentioned. Nolan, along with Pattinson, Washington and Kapadia, shot some sequences of the film in Mumbai for a week in September 2019.
