The Indian adaptation of The Night Manager, starring Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sobhita Dhulipala, has bagged a nomination in the Drama Series category at the 2024 International Emmy Awards. It's the only Indian entry across 14 categories, as announced by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in New York on Thursday. The Night Manager will compete against Les Gouttes de Dieu (Drops of God) from France, The Newsreader - Season 2 from Australia, and Iosi, El Espia Arrepentido Season 2 from Argentina in the drama series category.
A post shared by anilskapoor (@anilskapoor) Anil Kapoor, who portrayed antagonist Shelly Rungta in the series, expressed his excitement, saying, "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 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.
" He added, "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." The International Emmys will take place in New York on November 25, 2024, with Indian comedian Vir Das hosting the event.
