Anil Kapoor confirms his collaboration with Jeremy Renner in new web series Rennervations

<p><strong>The Night Manager review:</strong> I have to be honest, I am not a fan of remakes because they can never really match up to the original. When one remakes a hit film/series, comparisons are inevitable and it poses a big challenge to keep the audience engaged with an already-known story. So what works for Disney+Hostar's latest show <em>The Night Manager</em>? Its ability to stay true to the original and yet find its own voice, coupled with stellar performances from its lead cast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Originally based on a book by John le Carre which was later turned into a British miniseries that featured Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman and Elizabeth Debicki, the Indian version, created by Sandeep Modi features Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Kapoor, Tillotama Shome and Sobhita Dhulipala. Spanned over a few years, <em>The Night Manager</em> takes its time to establish the plot, and breaks the series into two parts but still makes for a compelling watch.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The series has Roy Kapur playing Shaan Sengupta, a former Navy man, who is now serving in the hospitality industry. He is the Night Manager of a five-star hotel in Dhaka. His life takes a dramatic turn when he witnesses the murder of a teenage girl in the hotel, who just a day earlier had sought help from him to flee to India. The death shakes up Shaan and he goes underground (which we later find out was a planned move). Two years later, he comes face to face with businessman Shelly Rungta, a man who Shaan knows was responsible for killing the young girl. Rungta who travels with his entourage everywhere claims to be a tycoon of a shipping business but actually is an arms dealer, and often termed as 'the merchant of death'. Rungta has been on the radar of Indian intelligence for years, who due to lack of evidence have never been able to nab him.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Enter the Intelligence officer Lipika Saikia Rao, who convinces Shaan to spy on Rungta, get into his inner circle, and collect evidence against him. An alibi is created and Shaan soon finds himself in the sprawling estate.<br />
<br />
Set in South Asia, the series ably incorporates the local political unrest into the narrative. So there is the mention of the Rohingyas, a mention of the Dhaka protest, and the political relations between India, Sri Lanka, and Uzbekistan. While writers, Shridhar Raghavan (fresh from the success of Pathaan) and Modi get the political background well, they also excel at making <em>The Night Manager</em> a very human story. At the core is a man who agrees to become a spy for RAW, jeopardizing his whole life, to get redemption. Two years down the line, the death of the young girl still haunts him and it is for this reason that he agrees to do the unthinkable.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Roy Kapur plays his part well and with conviction. He looks like a man who could have been in the armed forces, he is a loner and minds his business until the fatal incident happens. And even though he gets anxious seeing Rungta, he treads on a dangerous path to get close to him, he remains a softy to his son&nbsp;Taha, who plays a key role in bringing him to Rungta's sprawling estate. Roy Kapur emotes with his eyes, certain shots have him depicting the mental havoc he is going through even though he appears calm and composed on the outside.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6QJQysiUxKc" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Anil Kapoor a veteran, breezes through his part. He has played over-the-top characters in his recent screen outings and his portrayal of Rungta is dramatically different. He is cool, calculated and sharp. He only lets Shaan in after he saves his son in a staged (we know, Rungta doesn't) kidnapping incident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The star of <em>The Night Manager</em>, however, is the supremely talented Tillotama Shome, who brings in her charisma to play the almost mundane but sharp RAW officer Lipika Saikia Rao. Shome, who proved her mettle in so many projects, shines once again in her role as the RAW handler who knows her appearance confuses people for whom she is. In the original, the character was played by Olvia Colman and Shome fits in her big shoes in the remake well making Lipika your regular government officer, who has so much more in her than what the state restricts her from doing.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="t" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2e4900a4-0c1d-4f9d-bf6f-68d410437529" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20%2864%29.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Sobhita Dhulipala, who is to date remembered for her strong performance in <em>Made In Heaven</em>&nbsp;feels underutilized. So far she has just added glamour to the mundane frames and hasn't been given much scope to show her talent.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The other actor who shines is Saswata Chatterjee as BJ - Rungta's oldest aide and an openly gay man. It's always a delight to watch the actor, who has in his career played myriad characters and <em>The Night Manager</em> is no different. He brings in a fun element to his character even though loyal fans of the original series would know how his character plays a key role in the narrative.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The only problem with <em>The Night Manager </em>is that it breaks the story into two parts. With just four episodes out, of which three were just to establish the plot- the break feels abrupt. The second part of the series is set to be out in June 2023 which may not be a very good move considering the original is still available online and a lot of people are aware of the story.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If one considers <em>The Night Manager</em> as a stand-alone show, ignoring the fact that it's a remake, it is a credible show with good writing and great performances.&nbsp;</p>

The Night Manager review: Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur's show is good, OTT platform's strategy is not

<p><strong>The Night manager Web-series:&nbsp;</strong>Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur have large shoes to fill this Friday as they make their web series debut in Sandeep Modi's <em>The Night Manager. </em>An official Indian remake of the hit British series by the same name, the show is a spy thriller with Kapur playing a night manager of a five-star hotel who is given the task by the Indian intelligence to nab the world's most dreaded arms dealer played by Anil Kapoor.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The original British series was released in 2016 and starred Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, and Elizabeth Debicki in lead roles. Based on author John le Carré's 1993 book, the series was aired on BBC One and earned critical acclaim. <em>The Night Manager </em>was nominated for thirty-six awards that year, of which it won eleven, including two Primetime Emmy Awards (for director Susanne Bier and music composer Victor Reyes) and three Golden Globe Awards (for Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman, and Hugh Laurie).<br />
<br />
Considering the series was a huge hit back in the year of release, it has over the years enjoyed a huge fan base. Something that Indian filmmaker and director Sandeep Modi and producer Simon Corwell &nbsp;(the producer of the original series and the remake) know very well. In a candid chat with WION, the two makers discussed the pressure of making a remake of successful series, why it had to be adapted for the Indian audience, and if there is a possibility of season 2 of 'The Night Manager.</p>

<p>Here are the excerpts from the interview:&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Q: Congratulations on the show. Considering it's a remake of a hit series, comparisons are inevitable. Did that pose as a challenge?&nbsp;</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Sandeep Modi:</strong> There are things in the original that I told my team was gold. Don't throw the gold, I said. The key part was to identify what's awesome and keep that. So it was critical and challenging to make it Indian and yet to stay true to the vision of John le Carré. The joy was whenever we would finish an episode and send a rough cut to Team Ink- the true custodian of le Carre's legacy, we were always sensitive to how Simon and the team would react and they have so far liked it. Very gracious with their love for it honestly.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Simon Corwell:</strong>&nbsp;Sandy has excelled. He did his best and it worked. From my perspective, Obviously, I&nbsp;loved the original but what I love about the Indian show is that we move in so many ways beyond the original. In the storytelling and direction, we are breaking new ground, if we look at Adi's performance or Anil's performance, they have found their own version of the characters and made it their own.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Tilottama Shome is just fantastic. She made the part her own instantly. Gives it so much emotional strength.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Sandeep and the team have given the show recognisable links to the original but it's so much more than that. From my perspective, it looks emotionally strong and exciting.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Q: How did the Indian remake come about?&nbsp;</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Simon Corwell:</strong> It came about, quite honestly, randomly. We started the conversation about the Indian remake of the series. At that time my dad (author John le Carré) was still alive. &nbsp;I went to him and told him that somebody has floated the idea to make an Indian adaptation. I was a little nervous, he wrote the book and it's not set in India. But his face lit up and he said 'How fabulous a thing that would be!'. His story was universal enough to be the jumping-off point for an entirely new way of re-telling it. So that was how the journey started. And then the challenge became how to tell the story in a way it feels completely Indian. But I must say that as writers Sandeep (Modi ) and Shridhar (Raghavan) have made such a great reality of that vision.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Sandeep Modi: &nbsp;</strong>Of course, we had to tweak it. We had interrogated&nbsp;every part of the book in that sense. I had to tell the team if it was only required to be told in Hindi we could have easily dubbed Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie's voices in Hindi. But that's not how a story works and the audience should be invested emotionally and culturally in the show.&nbsp;There are many aspects- dare I tell the lovers of the original- &nbsp;we have tinkered around with. We hope you like it. if not I am going underground for a week or two&nbsp;(l<em>aughs</em>)</p>

<p><strong>Q: The casting seems very interesting. It brings together commercial stars like Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur in the same frame as Tillotama Shome, who is known to be a part of indies and world cinema. What was the mandate for casting such actors?</strong><br />
<br />
Sandeep: I was aided by a great team. Mukesh Chhabra my casting director was instrumental in this. He always comes up with whacked-out ideas for casting and I pick the best out of them and push him to deliver more. Tillotama was someone I was personally invested in. I will take the credit for casting her. I always felt that the strength of character that Olivia Coleman played in the original was different. Strength is a mental thing not physical. And to portray a strong intelligence officer did not require physical strength. Wanted to make a statement by casting a brilliant actor like Tillotama. &nbsp;That's why she was cast- who could make a vulnerable personal look strong and that's what our challenge was. Strength has so many shades and colours, so many types.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Anil Sir is a mainstream superstar and Tilottama has made us proud with her work in world cinema the face-off between the two is something that I had dreamt of long back.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
This is an Indian show set in Asia with Indian talent. So when you say India, there are so many Indians and actors from all across the country. So there is Bengali actor Saswata Chatterjee, there is Rukshar, and there is Ravi Behl. We have actors from Kashmir. So much talent! Even with the crew- we got the best to tell an Indian story.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Q: What is that one essential thing that makes for a good Indian thriller?&nbsp;</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Sandeep: </strong>I think it comes from emotions. Every story comes from emotion. I consider Mr Ram Madhvani my mentor. Both of us created 'Aarya' and we always felt good thrillers always make the audience sit on the edge of their seat but that only happens when they can connect with the characters. The only reason the viewer will connect to a thriller is when they care about the characters. Joy is the emotion.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Q: Simon, there has been so much conversation about making season 2 of the original series <em>The Night Manager</em>. Will it ever happen?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Simon:</strong>&nbsp; I would love to see season two of <em>The Night Manager</em>. Maybe the stars will align for it happens but you know it's been a long time now. It's a dream of mine for a long time but it will stay a dream perhaps.&nbsp;</p>

From my perspective, Obviously, I loved the original but what I love about the Indian show is that we move in so many ways beyond the original. In the storytelling and direction, we are breaking new ground, if we look at Adi's performance or Anil's performance, they have found their own version of the characters and made it their own. Tilottama Shome is just fantastic. She made the part her own instantly. Gives it so much emotional strength. Sandeep and the team have given the show recognisable links to the original but it's so much more than that. From my perspective, it looks emotionally strong and exciting. Q: How did the Indian remake come about? Simon Corwell: It came about, quite honestly, randomly. We started the conversation about the Indian remake of the series. At that time my dad (author John le Carré) was still alive. I went to him and told him that somebody has floated the idea to make an Indian adaptation. I was a little nervous, he wrote the book and it's not set in India. But his face lit up and he said 'How fabulous a thing that would be!'. His story was universal enough to be the jumping-off point for an entirely new way of re-telling it. So that was how the journey started. And then the challenge became how to tell the story in a way it feels completely Indian. But I must say that as writers Sandeep (Modi ) and Shridhar (Raghavan) have made such a great reality of that vision. Sandeep Modi: Of course, we had to tweak it. We had interrogated every part of the book in that sense. I had to tell the team if it was only required to be told in Hindi we could have easily dubbed Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie's voices in Hindi. But that's not how a story works and the audience should be invested emotionally and culturally in the show. There are many aspects- dare I tell the lovers of the original- we have tinkered around with. We hope you like it. if not I am going underground for a week or two (laughs) Q: The casting seems very interesting. It brings together commercial stars like Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur in the same frame as Tillotama Shome, who is known to be a part of indies and world cinema. What was the mandate for casting such actors? Sandeep: I was aided by a great team. Mukesh Chhabra my casting director was instrumental in this. He always comes up with whacked-out ideas for casting and I pick the best out of them and push him to deliver more. Tillotama was someone I was personally invested in. I will take the credit for casting her. I always felt that the strength of character that Olivia Coleman played in the original was different. Strength is a mental thing not physical. And to portray a strong intelligence officer did not require physical strength. Wanted to make a statement by casting a brilliant actor like Tillotama. That's why she was cast- who could make a vulnerable personal look strong and that's what our challenge was. Strength has so many shades and colours, so many types. Anil Sir is a mainstream superstar and Tilottama has made us proud with her work in world cinema the face-off between the two is something that I had dreamt of long back. This is an Indian show set in Asia with Indian talent. So when you say India, there are so many Indians and actors from all across the country. So there is Bengali actor Saswata Chatterjee, there is Rukshar, and there is Ravi Behl. We have actors from Kashmir. So much talent! Even with the crew- we got the best to tell an Indian story. Q: What is that one essential thing that makes for a good Indian thriller? Sandeep: I think it comes from emotions. Every story comes from emotion. I consider Mr Ram Madhvani my mentor. Both of us created 'Aarya' and we always felt good thrillers always make the audience sit on the edge of their seat but that only happens when they can connect with the characters. The only reason the viewer will connect to a thriller is when they care about the characters. Joy is the emotion. Q: Simon, there has been so much conversation about making season 2 of the original series The Night Manager. Will it ever happen? Simon: I would love to see season two of The Night Manager. Maybe the stars will align for it happens but you know it's been a long time now. It's a dream of mine for a long time but it will stay a dream perhaps. The Night Manager stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sobhita Dhulipala, Anil Kapoor, Tillotama Shome in key roles and releases on Disney+Hotstar on February 17.

Anil Kapoor wraps up his shoot of Indian remake of 'The Night Manager'

<p>'The Night Manager' one of the most talked about Hindi remakes was initially reported to have Hrithik Roshan essay the lead. The original starring Tom Hiddleston is an extremely&nbsp;popular British spy thriller series which has had its official Hindi remake in the works for the last couple&nbsp;of years. First, it was delayed owing to the pandemic and later the remake was stalled further with reports of Hrithik Roshan no longer being a part of it.</p>

<p>While the recent news reports have confirmed that the Hindi remake will star Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead, it was also offered to actor Ali Fazal who was also keen to take up the part. However, due to his shoot commitments for his Hollywood film with Gerard Butler and season 3 of 'Mirzapur' Ali had to decline the project.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A source disclosed, “Ali was approached soon after Hrithik couldn’t do the project. The team was figuring out the perfect schedule to ensure the project starts on time, however, it was getting stuck between dates. Ali was already committed to do Vishal Bhardwaj’s Khufiya and then also season 3 of 'Mirzapur' and hence owing to these issues, he eventually had to let go of 'The Night Manager' remake”.</p>

<p>Interestingly Ali will be seen playing an intelligence officer in Vishal Bhardwaj's next and will also be seen in a high-octane action drama,'Kandahar'.<br />
