Hollywood director Christopher Nolan has been shooting his upcoming spy actionthriller Tenet in Mumbai for the last four days. Known to relentlessly pursue what he wants, the filmmaker seems to be in no mood to waste a single minute. Going by the speed at which Nolan has been shooting, it looks like the team will complete their Mumbai schedule on Friday, and will fly out on Saturday to Los Angeles, ahead of their planned stay.

The action has now shifted from the Gateway of India and Colaba Causeway to Kemps Corner. While the team previously shot in the daytime and the outdoors, the current portion is being filmed in the late hours of the day at a high-rise in South Mumbai. We hear, an apartment has been booked for the shoot, along with the terrace and an adjacent building. Lead actors, Robert Pattinson and John David Washington (son of Denzel Washington), shot for the stunt scenes. Dimple Kapadia was also present here.

While it was hard to tell if it was Robert Pattinson or his stunt double, people witnessed a scene that had two men jumping off the 20-storey building. Those present at the location pointed out that Pattinson’s blonde look (hair colour) in the film is just like Nolan’s in real life, and that makes the two look similar. Following this action sequence, we hear, the team is contemplating shooting a bigger stunt scene. Watch this space for more.
