what did neena say
“I auditioned for Christopher Nolan, the director of Tenet. I went to LA (Los Angeles, California) for a day to meet him and came back. First of all I auditioned here and sent them. He selected 5 women. Then finally Dimple (Kapadia) played this role. She never went there,” Neena said.
“When I meet Dimple, I will tell her that you did not even go.” This is the director’s image of the character. You can’t say anything about it,” Neena said. She also claimed that she has been unlucky in competitions. Whenever she auditioned, she did not get the part. But filmmakers aware of his filmography offered him excellent roles.

Dimple Kapadia made her Hollywood debut by playing the role of arms dealer Priya Singh, who becomes the main antagonist in Tenet. Dimple shares screen space with John David Washington in the film produced by Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan and wife Emma Thomas’ production house Syncopy Inc. The film also stars Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine and Kenneth Branagh, among others. Its release was delayed due to theaters being closed due to COVID-19. It grossed $365.9 million at the global box office.
Dimple will next be seen in Salaam Noni Appa, a biopic based on her daughter Twinkle Khanna’s 2016 bestseller The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad’s short story of the same name.
