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

<p>Christopher Nolan's <i>The Odyssey</i> is one of the highly anticipated films of Hollywood. Shot entirely on IMAX cameras, with a star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Zendaya and Tom Holland, fans are eagerly waiting to watch the epic drama on big screens.

The Sahara International Film Festival (FiSahara) has called for a public boycott of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. The controversy stems from Nolan's decision to film scenes in the peninsula city of Dakhla, located in the disputed territory of Western Sahara.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey may be one of the most anticipated films of the year but it has found no takers at the Sahara International Film Festival. The organisers of the film festival called for a boycott of Nolan’s film over scenes shot in the disputed territory of Western Sahara. What is the controversy about? Nolan’s period drama is scheduled for release worldwide on July 17, was partially filmed in the peninsula of Dakhla in the disputed territory, with a cast including Zendaya and Matt Damon. The mineral-rich former Spanish colony has been largely controlled by Morocco since 1975 but is considered a non-self-governing territory by the United Nations. Morocco has long been in conflict with the Algerian-backed Polisario Front, which seeks independence for the Sahrawi people. "When Christopher Nolan steps on the red carpet on his way to the premiere's screening, he will also be stepping on International Law, specifically the right of the Sahrawi people to their territory and resources, which are being illegally exploited by Morocco," the festival, also known as FiSahara, said in a statement. "FiSahara is calling for a general boycott by the public after Christopher Nolan chose the city of Dakhla in Morocco-occupied Western Sahara as one of its locations," it said. Nolan was asked to drop scenes before FiSahara, which takes place in Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria, had pressured Nolan last year to drop the scenes filmed in the territory. "I would encourage Mr Nolan to understand the history of the Moroccan regime's repression against the Sahrawi people," Spanish film star Javier Bardem was quoted as saying in the festival's statement. Morocco maintains that Western Sahara is an integral part of the kingdom and proposes a plan in which it would be an autonomous Moroccan territory. The Polisario Front however maintains its demands to hold a referendum on self-determination.
