Videos shared on social media showed Holland arriving at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace hotel. The actor waved at photographers waiting outside before making his way into the hotel.
Nolan, who has been to India multiple times and shot his 2020 movie “Tenet” in Mumbai, was seen entering the hotel with his wife and producer Emma Thomas.
Nolan, Thomas, Holland and Matt Damon arrived in Mumbai as part of the film’s global premiere tour, making it the first Christopher Nolan film to have an official premiere in India.
Universal Pictures International has designated Mumbai as an official stop alongside London, Paris and New York.
The India premiere of “The Odyssey” will be held at PVR Icon IMAX at Phoenix Palladium in Mumbai on Saturday.

Damon stars as the Greek hero Odysseus, while Holland plays his son, Telemachus.
The ensemble cast also features Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron and Samantha Morton.
Shot across multiple countries using newly developed IMAX film technology, “The Odyssey” is the first feature film to be shot entirely with IMAX cameras.
