South superstar Kamal Haasan too met Christopher Nolan yesterday and the pictures of their meet are everywhere on the internet. Nolan took Kamal to surprise when he revealed that he had watched his film, Papanassam. "Met Mr Christopher Nolan. Apologized for seeing 'Dunkirk' in the digital format and in return I am sending 'Hey Ram' in digital format for him to see. Was surprised to know he had seen 'Papanaasam'," Haasan tweeted along side a picture of him with Nolan.

Filmmaker-archivist Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, who is hosting Nolan for all the three days, hopes the director's trip to India will draw attention to the cause of film preservation and restoration. A public lecture on 'Process and the Non-Deliberate Act' by Dean took place on Friday. It will be followed by a discussion on 'Reframing The Future Of Film' on April 1 in Mumbai with Nolan, Dean and Dungarpur.

A roundtable discussion is also planned with prominent personalities of the Indian film industry to be attended by Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Haasan, Shyam Benegal and others.

Nolan will be present for the screenings of two of his recent films Oscar-nominated "Dunkirk" and "Interstellar".
