Actor Aditya Roy Kapoor to cast as the lead in the Indian remake of John Le Carre’s spy thriller ‘The Night Manager.’ Previously, Hrithik Roshan was set to play Jonathan Pine, a British mini-series character played by Tom Hiddleston.
‘The Night Manager’ is a 1993 novel by British author John Le Carre. The plot centres around a former soldier who works as a night manager at a fancy hotel and is recruited by a government spy organisation to join an arms dealer’s inner circle. David Farr adapted the book for the BBC and AMC, and Susanne Bier directed the series. The cast also included Olivia Colman, Hugh Laurie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Tom Hollander, in addition to Hiddleston. The series received numerous Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Primetime Emmy nominations. The Indian adaptation will be directed by Sandeep Modi, the co-director of Ram Madhvani’s Emmay-nominated series ‘Aarya.’ The series consists of six episodes. The series will be released next year.
