Narain told The Indian Express, ““I have been in touch with the filmmakers for the past year about their plans to make a film on climate change. They wanted me to particularly talk about our concerns about the need for ambition and equity in climate negotiations. They have just informed me that they will be in Delhi on October 29 and 30th and will come over to CSE for a sit down interview.”
DiCaprio gained worldwide fame after starring in 1997’s blockbuster hit Titanic. His work with directors like Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan would later catapult him towards stardom.
