“I never make plans so far ahead. But I had an amazing experience in India, and I definitely want to come back and work more in India with Indian actors,” Nolan said. “I don’t know what I’m doing next.” Nolan said some of his favorite images in “Tenet” are during the scenes set in India, adding about his time in the country, “I really had a tremendous experience. The love for films in that city is really palpable.”

As Nolan stressed, he has not announced any official plans for what his next project will be after “Tenet.” The director has been averaging a three-year break period in between movie projects (“Tenet” was three years after “Dunkirk,” which was three years after “Interstellar,” although the space epic was just two years after “The Dark Knight Rises”), so it will most likely be another year (or more given the pandemic) before Nolan gets the filmmaking gears going again. Nolan has stated before he’s a fan of Indian cinema, citing Satyajit Ray’s “Pather Panchali” as one of his favorite films and one of the best films ever made. During a trip to India over Easter weekend in 2018, Nolan campaigned for the preservation of celluloid film in Bollywood. Nolan’s return to India for “Tenet” only grew his interest in working in India more. “Tenet” is now available on VOD platforms.
