Karan praised Dimple as a ‘phenomenal actor’ and wrote that she continues to set new benchmarks for everyone, even after nearly five decades in the film industry. “Even after 47 years in the business, you still continue to raise the bar, you deserve everything and way more. You’re an inspiration, a phenomenal actor and an even better human being. I love you,” he wrote.

In September, daughter Twinkle Khanna had watched Tenet in Scotland, where Akshay was shooting for Bellbottom. She had taken to Instagram to laud Dimple’s performance and written, “Finally saw Tenet in the theatre and though my mother is so laid-back that she refuses to do any publicity around it, she has a wonderful part and is completely incredible.”

Dimple plays arms dealer Priya Singh in Tenet, which released in India on December 4. The film also features John David Washington in the lead alongside Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Michael Caine and Clemence Poesy.

Ahead of Tenet’s release in India, Christopher Nolan talked to PTI about shooting for the film in Mumbai. “We shot in Mumbai, which is just one of the most extraordinary looking cities in the world in terms of its architecture, the amazing people and the abundance of life on the streets there. It’s a really remarkable place with this extraordinary history, so, to be able to take the audience there, it seemed a very exciting setting,” he said.
