Exclusive! Now You See Me: Now You Don’t star Isla Fisher says, 'I’m really desperate to visit India'

Isla Fisher returns to the world of illusion and high-stakes trickery with Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the third film in the blockbuster franchise that first introduced audiences to the mysterious Horsemen.

In an exclusive conversation with Bombay Times, Isla talks about sharing the spotlight with a new generation of performers, revisiting the camaraderie of the earlier films, and why a trip to India has long been on her list.When asked about her plans to visit India, she quickly replies, “I’ve literally been vaccinated for India twice and both times gotten pregnant after getting the vaccines and therefore, not actually gone.

But I’m really desperate to visit and I intend to go. It’s my next dream holiday.”

The upcoming film, which releases across PVR Inox Cinemas in India on November 14, brings together familiar faces like Jesse Eisenberg alongside three new actors who join the ensemble. Talking about the arrival of fresh talent and if that stirred any competitive nerves, Isla says, “We don’t have those kinds of egos. We’re performers and actors, and obviously, we’re insecure (laughs), but I feel there’s space for everyone.

I, as a mother of an 18, 15, and a 10-year-old, want them (my kids) to identify with the characters in this franchise. So, to have these incredible fresh performers with the different energies and different takes — they’re just so relaxed about the magic, and it feels like the older Horsemen were a lot more sort of intense in some ways, which is ironic. So, I think that we just mix together really well. It just helps in being a transgenerational experience for audiences.”The actress, known for films like Confessions of a Shopaholic, Wedding Crashers and The Great Gatsby, lights up when speaking about her co-stars and the close bond they share, even after more than a decade. “I’m so proud of these guys, to work with them and to follow their careers and see them move forward. I am so proud of Jesse (Eisenberg). We all were sort of behind him when his movie came out. It’s really nice. It’s like a big family. We all love each other, and we love to share the screen with each other,” she concludes.
