Edward Norton may not have had a lot to say during the virtual interaction for The Invite, but when the conversation turned to India, the Oscar-nominated actor lit up with memories from his travels. Speaking alongside director Olivia Wilde, who also stars in the movie, Norton reflected on his visit to India and the kind of dinner party he’d love to host.

Norton revealed that he has fond memories of travelling through the country. Recalling his favourite experience, he said, “I have travelled through India and loved it. My favorite area was up in Uttaranchal (now known as Uttarakhand), way up near Nepal. I went trekking there and hiking for days and days. It was so much fun. I loved it.” When the conversation turned to Indian movies and which film he has watched, he quickly said, “RRR.”

Discussing his ideal Hollywood house party guest, Norton said, “I don’t know who. There are quite a few people I haven’t had over for dinner yet but would love to.”


The Invite released in India last week across PVR Inox. Directed by Olivia Wilde, The Invite is a sharp relationship dramedy set over the course of a single dinner party. The film stars Seth Rogen and Wilde as a married couple whose strained relationship is tested when they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbours, played by Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, for an evening that quickly spirals into an emotionally charged exploration of love, desire and commitment. Written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, the film is inspired by Cesc Gay's acclaimed Spanish film The People Upstairs.
