In an interview with Sucharita Tyagi, Cillian Murphy was asked about Robert Oppenheimer being influenced by Bhagavad Geeta and the actor revealed he also read the sacred book in his preparation.

“I did read the Bhagavad Gita in preparation, and I thought it was an absolutely beautiful text, very inspiring. I think it was a consolation to him, he kind of needed it and it provided him a lot of consolation, all his life,” he said.

In an interview with People Magazine, Robert Downey Jr said, “I have never witnessed a greater sacrifice by a lead actor in my career. He knew it was going to be a behemoth ask when Chris called him. But I think he also had the humility that is required to survive playing a role like this."

“He is an actor that I have been watching for quite some time and have been desperate to work with for ages. You’d have to be mad to say no. It was truly one of the best experiences that I’ve had.”

The movie has received an R rating. The movie stars Cillian Murphy in the titular role with Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek and Kenneth Branagh in pivotal roles.
