Anil Kapoor’s highly acclaimed series, The Night Manager, has received a prestigious nomination for the 2024 International Emmy Awards in the Best Drama Series category. This marks a significant achievement, as it is the only Indian drama to be nominated among the 14 categories announced by the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in New York.
A Stellar Adaptation
The Indian adaptation of The Night Manager, featuring Anil Kapoor alongside Aditya Roy Kapur and Sobhita Dhulipala, is directed by Sundeep Modi and Priyanka Ghose. The series is based on John Le Carré’s novel and the critically acclaimed British television show starring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, and Olivia Coleman.
Anil Kapoor’s Reaction
Expressing his excitement over the nomination, Anil Kapoor, who portrays the antagonist in the series, stated that he is “ecstatic” about this recognition. He highlighted that the nomination serves as a testament to the hard work put into the project and a reminder that dedication pays off.
Competing Against Global Talent
The Night Manager will face stiff competition from international entries, including the French series Les Gouttes de Dieu (Drops of God), the Australian drama The Newsreader (Season 2), and the Argentine series Iosi, El Espia Arrepentido (Season 2).
Successful Run on Disney+ Hotstar
Premiering on Disney+ Hotstar on February 16, 2023, The Night Manager quickly garnered positive reviews from audiences and critics alike. Following its successful first season, a second season was released on June 29, and the series received multiple nominations at the Filmfare Awards across six categories.
A Landmark Year for the Emmys
The 2024 International Emmy Awards will also be significant for India as comedian Vir Das becomes the first Indian to host the prestigious event. Vir Das, who won an award last year for his Netflix special Landing, is set to bring a unique flavor to the proceedings, which will take place in New York on November 25.
