Working on Tenet finally made me believe in myself, says Dimple Kapadia

Veteran Bollywood actress Dimple Kapadia was initially hesitant to take up Christopher Nolan’s big film, Tenet. However, being a part of the big-budget Hollywood film has instilled a new sense of confidence and belief in her.

“My process of working is fear and nervousness. I don’t know how the process unfolds after that,” Dimple said. She added that she then relies on her “instinct and the director completely”.

“My takeaway (after working in the film) is a hell of a lot. It has completely changed my mental make-up. It has made me more confident, wanting to do better roles, work more and made me more positive. It has made me believe in myself finally — Nolan ke saath kaam kiya hai (have worked with Nolan)! It is a beautiful dream that has come true,” she said.

Dubbed as “an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage”, Nolan’s new film takes one on a thrilling time-bending mission with two secret agents, essayed by Robert Pattinson and John David Washington.

Role wise

In the film, Dimple is seen as Priya, who is crucial to the narrative. Her character emerges as deadly person, splashed with various shades of grey.

Talking about Nolan, the 63-year-old star said: “I was hesitating to do the film because I was not comfortable with myself and my capabilities but after doing a Nolan film, I didn’t have to worry because he takes care of everything.”

The film is scheduled to release in India on December 4.
