In a historic milestone for Indian cinema lovers, Oscar-winning visionary Christopher Nolan is set to host his first-ever official movie premiere in India. The acclaimed director, alongside Hollywood heavyweights Matt Damon and Tom Holland, will descend upon Mumbai this July as a premier stop on their high-profile global promotional tour for the mythological epic, The Odyssey.
