The Indian adaptation of The Night Manager is creating history! The show, which is set to release on Disney+ Hotstar on 17th February 2023, is an adaptation of John le Carré’s book of the same name and in a first, the book will now feature the film’s leading men, Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, as its cover. This is the first time ever that an Indian show will be featured on an international bestseller, reports Bollywood Hungama.
Gaurav Banerjee, Head - Content, Disney+Hotstar & HSM Entertainment Network, Disney Star said, “John le Carre is the king of espionage. Our show ‘The Night Manager’ is based on his book and now it is being featured on the book cover which seems like a fantastic full circle of the show’s journey! It’s such a strong validation of what we have done with the Indian version and we couldn’t have been more thrilled.”
On this milestone, Anil Kapoor said, “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! When you’ve been in the industry for as long as I have, it’s easy to think that you’ve seen everything, but I could not have imagined something like this even in my wildest dreams. So grateful and humbled by this honour!”
“The Night Manager has been a very special project for me. I’m a huge fan of the book and for our poster to make it to the cover of the book it’s based on, we couldn’t have asked for more! It’s wonderful validation for all the work the whole team has put in.” adds Aditya Roy Kapur.
