Actor Akshay Kumar on Saturday said he was overwhelmed with joy after filmmaker Christopher Nolan penned a note for veteran star Dimple Kapadia, praising her exceptional performance in his directorial "Tenet". The espionage-thriller, which released theatrically in the country on Friday, marks the Hollywood debut of Kapadia.

In the note, which was shared by Kumar on Twitter, Nolan said he had nothing but "love, admiration and respect" for the 63-year-old actor, who plays arms dealer Priya Singh in the film. "Dimple, what can I say. Working with you has been a delight. Watching you bring Priya to life all around the world has been fantastic. Thank you for your great skill and hardwork and for lending your talent to 'Tenet'," the note read.
