The Night Managers, British And Desi: Tom Huddleston And Aditya Roy Kapur Were On Video Call

Aditya Roy Kapur, who played Shaan Sengupta in the series, has uploaded two pictures of himself talking to Tom Hiddleston over a video call

Aditya Roy Kapur, who played the titular role in the Indian adaptation of The Night Manager, is on cloud nine today. Reason? The “OG” night manager, Tom Hiddleston or should we say, Jonathan Pine, had “some kind words to say” about the remake of the 2016 British series, created by David Farr. Tom and other members of the original series watched the Hindi adaptation in the UK on Thursday. After the screening, the Loki actor congratulated his Indian counterpart over a video call and made his day. Aditya, who played Shaan Sengupta in the series, has uploaded two pictures of himself talking to Tom Hiddleston over a video call and wrote: “The OG Night Manager watched our show yesterday! He had some kind words to say. Bas aur kya chahiye (what else do I need now).” The directors of recently released The Night Manager, Priyanka Ghose and Sandeep Modi, were also present at the UK screening of the show. 

The Night Manager, which premiered a month ago on Disney+Hotstar, stars Anil Kapoor as an illegal arms dealer and Aditya Roy Kapur as a manager of a luxury hotel, roles played by Huge Laurie and Tom Hiddleston in the original series, respectively. The spy series revolves around a soldier-turned-hotelier, who is dragged into a nasty chaos led by an illegal arms dealer and his goons.
