Ahead of The Odyssey's release, Matt Damon, Tom Holland and Christopher Nolan visited India to promote their upcoming film. The team is in Mumbai this weekend, and the trio took an unexpected detour before attending the film's Indian premiere. Instead of heading straight to the venue, they visited the city's popular Olympia Coffee House in Colaba for a chai break. A chai break In the visuals shared by Universal Pictures India, Nolan, Holland and Damon can be seen enjoying cups of tea with bun maska and desserts before heading to the evening's celebrations. Sharing the images on social media, the studio wrote, "Quick tea stop before The Odyssey Mumbai Premiere. A Big night awaits, but chai comes first! #OdysseyMumbaiPremiere."

Cafe manager shares details As per HT City, Olympia Coffee House manager Inayat Maredia shared that the preparations had quietly begun hours before the stars arrived. Maredia said, "Unn teenon ke guests jo the, voh pehle 2:30 baje naashte ke liye aaye, uske baad se voh khade the baahar hi cafe ke. Humko toh pata bhi nahi tha ki jinki voh wait kar rahe hain, voh itne bade hain. Baad mein jab Google kiya toh maloom padha ki Tom Spider Man wale actor hain. (Their team members had arrived around 2:30 pm and had been waiting outside the cafe since then. We had no idea that the people they were waiting for were such big personalities. Later, when we searched online, we realised that Tom was the actor who plays Spider-Man.)" Also Read: Christopher Nolan, Tom Holland, Matt Damon enjoy tea and bun maska in Mumbai

This part of the show was edited out from the version that aired on television.The clip was shared by Jasleen Royal's manager, Yash Sanjeev Badwe, on Instagram. It was from an episode of Indian Idol where Royal was a guest and it captured a pivotal moment of reconciliation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While interacting with rapper Badshah on stage, Vishal Dadlani seized the opportunity to address his past remarks.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"Main Jasleen ko bahut time se janta hun aur pichle saal hamari ek controversy ho gayi thi (referring to the Coldplay incident) ("I have known Jasleen for a very long time, and last year we had a controversy)," Dadlani said as he added "Maine kuch zyada bol diya ek masle mein aur mujhe bolna nahin chahiye tha kyunki I truly admire Jasleen’s compositions. As a composer, hamare paas zyada female composers nahin hain. Galti mujhse ye hui ki organisers ko main kahin blame kar raha tha lekin bola maine galat tareeke se. I want to publicly apologise to you. It must be done.( "I said too much about an issue and I shouldn't have said it because I truly admire Jasleen's compositions. As composers, we don't have many female composers. The mistake I made was that I was somewhere blaming the organisers, but I said it in the wrong way. I want to publicly apologise to you. It must be done.")</p>

<p>He further elaborated, "Female composers hamare paas yahaan nahin hain and I am the last person to discourage someone who does such good work. You really write beautiful songs... It was never my intention to diss you as an artiste. Agar wo hua hai mujhse, I genuinely want to apologise."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jasleen Royal, visibly emotional, shared her feelings: “I always considered you as a mentor. I have called you with little-little things. So, it just felt like… I see you as a mentor and a friend, so it hurt me. But it’s okay, we have our own journeys. That’s really big of you.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This heartfelt admission led to a warm hug between the two artists, signaling an end to their public disagreement.</p><h3>What had happened?</h3><p>The discord originated in January 2025, when Jasleen Royal performed as an opening act for the American band Coldplay in India. Her performance drew considerable backlash from the audience, and composer-singer Vishal Dadlani was among those who voiced strong criticism. Dadlani took to Instagram to express his disappointment, stating, "I'm really sorry, but when you put a basic-to-bad singer in front of a large crowd on a large stage, all you're doing is showing more people that the individual can't really sing, and that sadly, systems within labels in India aren't geared towards really promoting the best we have… I've just seen some clips, and my gosh... How embarrassing! For the Country, the artiste, the public, as well as 'the scene'." His blunt opinion, characteristic of his public persona, added fuel to the controversy.</p>

Singer Jasleen Royal did the opening act for Coldplay at their Mumbai concerts in January 2025. However, her performance got a a wave of criticism from the audience. 

In January 2025, Jasleen Royal’s opening performance for Coldplay in Mumbai drew huge backlash, both at the venue and later on the internet. Apart from many netizens, singer Vishal Dadlani was also among those who made controversial remarks about her performance. A year after the performance, Dadlani came forward to publicly apologize to Royal on the sets of Indian Idol.The reconciliation happened on the set of the show, where Royal appeared to promote her recent track "Inaam" featuring rapper Badshah, who was also present. It was then that Dadlani made a sweet gesture to mend the rift. This part of the show was edited out from the version that aired on television.The clip was shared by Jasleen Royal's manager, Yash Sanjeev Badwe, on Instagram. It was from an episode of Indian Idol where Royal was a guest and it captured a pivotal moment of reconciliation. While interacting with rapper Badshah on stage, Vishal Dadlani seized the opportunity to address his past remarks. "Main Jasleen ko bahut time se janta hun aur pichle saal hamari ek controversy ho gayi thi (referring to the Coldplay incident) ("I have known Jasleen for a very long time, and last year we had a controversy)," Dadlani said as he added "Maine kuch zyada bol diya ek masle mein aur mujhe bolna nahin chahiye tha kyunki I truly admire Jasleen’s compositions. As a composer, hamare paas zyada female composers nahin hain. Galti mujhse ye hui ki organisers ko main kahin blame kar raha tha lekin bola maine galat tareeke se. I want to publicly apologise to you. It must be done.( "I said too much about an issue and I shouldn't have said it because I truly admire Jasleen's compositions. As composers, we don't have many female composers. The mistake I made was that I was somewhere blaming the organisers, but I said it in the wrong way. I want to publicly apologise to you. It must be done.")

Tom Holland, Matt Damon and Christopher Nolan spoke to the Indian media on Saturday, days ahead of the release of their film The Odyssey. The film is one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

The Spider-Man actor is in Mumbai, promoting his upcoming magnum opus, The Odyssey, with Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, and producer Emma Thomas. After surprising the masses with the Mumbai Premiere, the team interacted with the media at a press conference. During the conversation, Tom was asked what his new film offers to Indian moviegoers who crave a cinematic experience. Tom Holland on what makes The Odyssey a perfect watch for Indian fans Tom instantly added that the film ain't just filled with mega set pieces, but it's backed by a strong emotional core. He said, "The most surprising thing is that the scope and the scale come with the best of emotions." You'll see things you've never seen before: Tom Holland Tom further added, "You're going to see a movie where you are going to see set pieces that blow you away. You'll see things that you've never seen before. Because Chris has decided to shoot this movie on IMAX. He's welcoming the audience into an experience, and that's really unique." The actor emphasised that the biggest takeaway from the film is that the audience will find a connection with the drama. Tom asserted, "Not only as an actor, as an audience member, but I've never felt something like that before. I think people will watch this movie and have a sense of connection to Chris' and our work, that feels very unique." About Odyssey Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film is based on a Greek epic poem attributed to Homer that follows the hero Odysseus (Matt Damon) on his gruelling ten-year journey home after the Trojan War. While he battles monsters and mystical foes at sea, his family in Ithaca must fight off a mob of suitors trying to usurp his throne. The Odyssey will be released in cinemas on July 17, 2026, in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
