Thrilled by the nomination, Anil Kapoor said in a statement earlier shared by his PR team, “It’s just been brought to my attention that our Indian adaptation of The Night Manager has been nominated for an international Emmy. I remember when the offer came in, I was conflicted.”
“It offered me the opportunity to play a complex character, but also, on the other hand, the huge responsibility of trying to add newness and authenticity to a part that Hugh Laurie had played so masterfully. This validation from the Emmys in addition to the tremendous love that we have received from fans worldwide, is a worthy reminder that hard work always pays…I am ecstatic and hungrier than ever before for what’s to come,” Kapoor added.
The Indian version of ‘The Night Manager’, directed by Sandeep Modi, also features Tillotama Shome, Ravi Behl, and Saswata Chatterjee in supporting roles.
