Trigger Warning: This article contains references to suicide
It's been a few days since Christopher Nolan and Robert Pattinson have touched down in Mumbai for a 10-15 day schedule of their upcoming movie, Tenet. Along with Robert, this ambitious film also stars our very own Dimple Kapadia as well as John David Washington, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh and Himesh Patel, in pivotal roles. Before the Mumbai schedule, Dimple was spotted shooting with Nolan in Estonia. Now, Colaba has been overtaken by the acclaimed Oscar-nominated director.
On September 16, in the wee hours of the morning, Nolan and Washington were shooting at the Colaba Causeway market, with around 300-400 people. They then shifted base to the Royal Bombay Yacht Club where Robert shot through lunch hour at the garden area. Around 40 boats were arranged near the Gateway of India for evening scenes where an unfortunate incident took place, just after pack up. An unidentified male attempted suicide by jumping into the water, right opposite the Taj Hotel, specifically near a set design for Tenet.
An eyewitness, present at the scene revealed exclusively to Pinkvilla, "The lifeguards were unable to get a hold of the man but thanks to the set design of the movie [Tenet], they were able to use the ropes to tie the man and rescue him. The police immediately picked him up and took him in their truck. A sympathetic crew member checked with his team to ensure that the man was alright."
We're glad to know that the man is alright and was rescued right on time!
Meanwhile, Tenet is slated to release on July 17, 2020.
