A still from The Odyssey.

In 2023, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer released alongside Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, and fans across the world watched them like a double feature. While Barbie earned more money worldwide, India had a different story to tell, as here, Oppenheimer was the bigger earner. In India, Oppenheimer made over Rs 150 crore, as opposed to Barbie, which made around Rs 55 crore.

Nolan’s third official visit to India

This visit in 2026 is Nolan’s third official visit to India. The director was here in 2019 while he was still making Tenet. At the time, he visited India with Robert Pattinson, who also stars in The Odyssey, and John David Washington. They shot for 10 days in India for some key sequences. Before the 2019 visit, Nolan had visited India in 2011 to shoot some key sequences for The Dark Knight Rises at Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur.
