Anil Kapoor, who plays the character Shelly Rungta, expressed his happiness about the nomination. He told Newswire, “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,”
Anil said that this validation from the Emmys, in addition to the tremendous love that they have received from fans worldwide, is a worthy reminder that hard work always pays. He expressed his excitement, stating that he is ecstatic and hungrier than ever before for what’s to come.
