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. Source: NDTV

Actor Tom Holland has appeared to confirm that he and his longtime partner Zendaya are already married, ending months of speculation about their relationship status. Rumours about the couple intensified after Zendaya’s stylist Law Roach suggested in March that the pair had already held a wedding ceremony. The discussion resurfaced again after artificial intelligence-generated images showing a supposed wedding of the two circulated online. When asked by ‘Esquire U.K.’ whether he had informed family members about the fake AI images, Holland responded, “No, because they were all there.” “That’s all you’ll get on that,” he added, without giving further details. In the same interview published Tuesday, Holland spoke warmly about his relationship with Zendaya, describing her as a strong source of emotional support in his life and career. “Our business can present very stressful situations and it’s really nice to have a bedrock of a relationship that will stand the test of time,” he said. “I found my person. She’s my best friend,” he added. “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been when I’m with her, and I’ve never felt so supported and safe.” Holland and Zendaya first met while working together on the 2017 film ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’. The pair continue to collaborate professionally, with both set to appear in upcoming major releases, including ‘The Odyssey’ and ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’.
