In an interview with NDTV recently, Dimple Kapadia opened up about her experience of working with the internationally acclaimed filmmaker. Talking particularly about her audition, Dimple said: “The audition started and when I saw Mr. Nolan holding the camera for my audition, that was a huge moment for me. I just told myself at that point, even if I don’t get the part I will treasure this moment that Christopher Nolan is holding the camera and taking my audition, that’s huge! And when I found out that I got the part, then I was terrified. I was asking myself – ‘How will I pull this off?’ There was a lot of anxiety and nervousness.”
