Team reunites for the International Emmys
The whole crew flew down, the 39-year-old tells HT City. Since he, too, had a break from filming, the actor thought it would be a fitting way to end the whole thing. The show's close-knit cast and crew attended the Emmys jointly.
The ceremony will take place on November 26. However, Kapur is not concerned about the outcome; he thinks it's fantastic that they were nominated, even though he is sure everyone else is, including director Sandeep Modi, as the victory would be the icing on the cake.
Aditya Roy Kapur on validation through audience and global recognition
When asked if he has taken this nomination as confirmation that there are no rigorous metrics for OTT success, Kapur replied that it is a validation for the team who worked so hard. Having their work acknowledged on such a global stage is uplifting. However, the most important factor is the audience's approval, starting with the knowledge that they appreciated it.
Sandeep Modi adapted the British television serial The Night Manager (2016), a crime thriller series, from the 1993 novel by John Le Carre. This series features the acting talents of Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sobhita Dhulipala, and supporting roles from Tillotama Shome, Ravi Behl, and Saswata Chatterjee.
