The Night Manager is an espionage thriller that revolves around a tense cat-and-mouse chase between a covert agent and a secret arms dealer. The 2016 original series stars Tom Hiddleston in the lead role. In the Indian remake, Anil will essay the role which was originally played by Hugh Laurie.
The cast also includes Aditya Roy Kapur and Sobhita Dhulipala. The original British series became a massive hit across the globe and earned several awards at the 74th Golden Globe Awards. The series will be released on Disney+ Hotstar.
Anil Kapoor is currently enjoying his new role as a grandfather after his elder daughter Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and her husband Anand Ahuja welcomed a baby boy last month.
Meanwhile, the actor was last seen in Koffee With Karan 7 along with Varun Dhawan. Anil Kapoor is asked to list three things in the trailer’s opening scene by host and filmmaker Karan Johar that make him feel young. The actor responds, “Sex, sex, sex,” to the host and Varun Dhawan’s laughter. Anil is abruptly brought back into the scene and says, “This is all scripted,” in a deft way.
