Hollywood actor Tom Holland has arrived in Mumbai ahead of the Indian premiere of Christopher Nolan's much-awaited film The Odyssey and is staying at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.
Videos shared on social media showed the Spider-Man star leaving Mumbai's Kalina Airport in a black car before heading to the luxury hotel. Although his face was not clearly visible, fans quickly identified him. This is Holland's second visit to India after his trip in 2023.
Christopher Nolan, producer Emma Thomas and actor Matt Damon have also arrived in Mumbai for the film's promotional events.
The Odyssey will be the first Christopher Nolan film to have its premiere in India. Universal Pictures International has included Mumbai as an official stop on the movie's global promotional tour, alongside London, Paris and New York.
The Taj Mahal Palace's most luxurious accommodation, the Tata Suite, offers two bedrooms, a spacious living room, a formal dining area, a meeting room for up to 15 people, a private office, lounge, spa with sauna, private gym, butler's pantry and the option of connecting to an additional bedroom.
The suite combines historic architecture with luxury interiors, featuring heritage furniture, artwork and cultural collectibles.
A social media video by Indian-Australian content creator Priya recently showcased the suite, highlighting its apartment-style layout, multiple living spaces, walk-in wardrobe, conference room and wellness facilities.
She claimed the suite costs Rs 50 lakh per night, but published reports suggest the actual rate ranges between Rs 7 lakh and Rs 12 lakh per night, depending on the booking.
Based on the ancient Greek epic by Homer, The Odyssey follows the legendary journey of Odysseus as he tries to return home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. The story traces his 10-year voyage, filled with mythical creatures, gods and dangerous challenges after the Greeks' victory over Troy.
The film features an ensemble cast including Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Samantha Morton, Lupita Nyong'o, Elliot Page, Mia Goth, Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo and Robert Pattinson.
Filmed at locations around the world using IMAX technology, The Odyssey is being promoted as the first feature film shot entirely with IMAX cameras. It is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on July 17.
