Anil Kapoor Expresses Excitement

Actor Anil Kapoor, who portrays the antagonist Shelly Rungta in The Night Manager, expressed his excitement regarding the series' nomination for an International Emmy. He described the recognition as a "worthy reminder" that dedication and hard work yield results.

"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," Kapoor shared.

He further emphasised, "This validation from the Emmys, along with the incredible support we've received from fans worldwide, reminds me that hard work truly pays off. I am ecstatic and hungrier than ever for what lies ahead."

The International Emmys ceremony is set to take place in New York on November 25, hosted by Indian comedian Vir Das, who received an award last year for his stand-up special Landing.
