While a crowd gathered at the coffee house to catch a glimpse of Nolan, Damon, and Holland, the owner of the shop had little to no clue who they were. Talking to HT City recently, Inayat Maredia, the manager of the 108-year-old establishment, shared his experience serving ‘The Odyssey’ stars and how the prep began.He shared, “Unn teenon ke guests jo the, voh pehle 2:30 baje naashte ke liye aaye, uske baad se voh khade the baahar hi cafe ke. Humko toh pata bhi nahi tha ki jinki voh wait kar rahe hain, voh itne bade hain. Baad mein jab Google kiya toh maloom padha ki Tom Spider-Man wale actor hain” (The guests of those three arrived for breakfast at 2:30, and after that, they simply stood outside the cafe. We didn’t even realise that the person they were waiting for was such a big celebrity. It was only later, when we Googled him, that we found out he was the actor who plays Spider-Man. )He also shared that they came with an ensemble of bodyguards and only stayed at the shop for around 10 to 15 minutes before leaving with their entire team.
