A viral social media post has sparked wild speculation that Christopher Nolan’s recent visit to India was about more than promoting The Odyssey. According to the claim, the Oscar-winning filmmaker also came to finalise the lead actor for a supposed Interstellar 2 and the Internet’s unexpected pick was YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani. While the rumour quickly gained traction online, Ashish responded with humour.
Is Ashish Chanchlani Nolan’s Choice For Interstellar 2?
The buzz began after paparazzi page Cidhant shared a video from the Mumbai premiere of The Odyssey, an event attended by Ashish Chanchlani. The clip jokingly suggested that Nolan’s India visit had a second purpose beyond the film’s premiere.
The text on the video claimed, “Reporters claim Nolan didn’t come to India just for the premiere, but also to lock in the protagonist for Interstellar 2.” The video concluded with Ashish walking the red carpet, while the caption read, “Bro is in demand fr.”
Ashish quickly noticed the post and playfully responded in the comments, writing, “Ree maine tera kya bigada hai.” (Hey, what have I ever done to you?)

The Interstellar 2 rumour wasn’t the only viral moment involving the YouTuber. In another Instagram Story, Ashish addressed posts comparing him to Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr, expressing mock frustration over the captions.
“‘Believe me, he’s not Robert Downey Jr.’ Koi sharam hai tum logon ko? Kyun daalte ho aise captions? Caption tum daalte ho, gaaliyan mujhe padti hain. Tumhari behen ka haath manga tha kya maine? Kal ko RDJ se milun toh kya muh dikhaunga? Lokhand ke haath se chamaat marega mujhe.”
His humorous rant quickly made the rounds on social media, with fans enjoying his self-deprecating take on the viral comparisons.
