Anil posted the trailer to Instagram with the caption, "It's showtime with a dreaded arms dealer, a night manager, and a perilous game of love and betrayal. #HotstarSpecials #TheNightManager will be available on @disneyplushotstar beginning February 17th."
The upcoming series, directed by Sandeep Modi, stars Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sobhita Dhulipala, Tillotama Shome, Saswata Chatterjee, and Ravi Behl in lead roles and will be available exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar.
The series is a Hindi adaptation of John le Carre's novel "The Night Manager," produced by The Ink Factory and Banijay Asia. "Spy thrillers are all about the twists and revelations, and with The Night Manager, the audience will experience the unexpected," Anil said of the series. Shelly Rungta is the evil in plain sight; you never know what his next move will be, or he is the man behind the threat. The twist is that he meets his match, and what happens next will keep the audience on the edge of their seats. We are thrilled to bring the series to a global audience through Disney+ Hotstar."
According to Aditya Roy Kapur, "When vengeance and betrayal are involved, high-voltage drama is unavoidable. The Night Manager accomplishes this through the use of fascinatingly complex characters. Still waters run deep, as the saying goes, and my character Shaan personifies that phrase perfectly. You never know what's on his mind, but you know the wheels are turning furiously, taking the plot in unexpected directions. Working with some of the finest talent in the Indian film industry, assembled by the dynamic team at Disney+ Hotstar, has been an incredible experience."
Sandeep Modi, the director, stated, "The Night Manager is an enthralling thriller with an intricately woven plot that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Actors like Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, as well as incredible technicians from around the world, have given their all to bring our vision of the show to life. The Night Manager is a high-octane thriller with elements of drama, conspiracies, and picturesque scenery that follows Shaan, Shelly, and their dynamics as they unfold with each episode. Furthermore, working with Disney+Hotstar has been an incredible experience, and we hope that this gripping story will engage and entertain audiences."
