The Indian remake of ‘The Night Manager’ is making history. The show, which will premiere on Disney+Hotstar on February 17, is an adaptation of John le Carré’s book of the same name, and for the first time, the book will feature the film’s leading men, Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, on the cover.
Sandeep Modi and Priyanka Ghose direct the show. Aside from Anil and Aditya, the cast also includes Tillotama Shome, Sobhita Dhulipala, Saswata Chatterjee, and Ravi Behl.
“To be featured on the cover of a bestselling novel…this has to be one of the most incredibly memorable moments of my acting career,” Anil Kapoor said of the achievement, adding, “When you’ve been in the industry as long as I have, it’s easy to think you’ve seen it all, but I could never have imagined something like this in my wildest dreams.”
“ ‘The Night Manager’ has been a very special project for me,” Roy Kapur added, “I’m a huge fan of the book, and having our poster appear on the cover of the book it’s based on was beyond our wildest dreams.”
