The Indian version of “The Night Manager”, starring Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sobhita Dhulipala, has received a nomination in the drama series category at the 2024 International Emmy Awards.
“The Night Manager” was the only entry from India across 14 categories at the nominations that were announced on Thursday in New York by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
The Sandeep Modi and Priyanka Ghose directorial series is adapted from both the John le Carré’s novel and the British show, featuring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman.
“The Night Manager” will compete with French show “Les Gouttes de Dieu” (Drops of God), “The Newsreader – Season 2” from Australia and “Iosi, El Espia Arrepentido” season two from Argentina in the category.
As per Anil Kapoor, who essays the role of antagonist Shelly Rungta in the series, he is “ecstatic” over the nomination, which is a “worthy reminder” that hard work always pays off.
Adding that it’s just been brought to his attention that the Indian adaptation of
‘The Night Manager’ has won nominated for an International Emmy.
Anil said that he remembers when the offer came in, he was conflicted. It offered him the opportunity to play a character so complex, but also, on the other hand, the huge responsibility of trying to add newness and authenticity to a part that had been played so masterfully by Hugh Laurie.
“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. He is ecstatic and than ever before for what’s going to come.
According to International Academy President & CEO Bruce L. Paisner, the International Emmys, is to be held in New York on November 25, and will be hosted by Indian comedian Vir Das, who was honoured with an award last year for his stand-up special “Landing”.
