Nolan will be speaking at the festival's literary event section, known as "Illuminati"
Mumbai: Indian Institute of Technology's annual festival Mood Indigo has announced that Hollywood Director Christopher Nolan will be present at the festival at this year’s edition. The visionary film director has been the brains behind some of the top grossing movies in Hollywood – ‘Inception’, ‘Man Of Steel’, ‘The Dark Knight’, ‘The Prestige’ and the highly anticipated upcoming blockbuster ‘Interstellar’. The festival conducted a small teaser campaign around the IIT grounds in Powai, before finally revealing their marquee guest at this year’s festival. It’s the perfect time for Nolan to be visiting the country, with Interstellar releasing around early November.

How cool! Can't wait for Nolan to go to IIT and meet some kids who might actually invent the fictional stuff he keeps putting in his films.
