The Night Manager's Sandeep Modi On International Emmy Triumph: Are We Good Enough? This Tells Me... | Exclusive

The International Emmy nomination for the Sandeep Modi directed The Night Manager, starring Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sobhita Dhulipala, has triggered off a wave of euphoria, and quite rightly so. Director Sandeep Modi, during an exclusive conversation, said, “I am deeply humbled . When Aarya got an Emmy nomination which I had co-created and co-directed, I couldn’t go to the Emmys because of some reasons, and I felt I had missed the opportunity to be on the biggest stage a show creator can dream of.” This honour is like a second godsent opportunity for Modi. He added, “To get to it again is truly a divine intervention. Also for people like me, from the middle class where I come from, we are always in self doubt. Are we good enough ? Does our voice matter. This tells me it does . All our voices matter when we do it with all our love and integrity. I am feeling very blessed.”ALSO READ: The Night Manager Gets Nominated For 2024 International Emmy. Anil Kapoor Goes 'Hard Work Always Pays' Outwardly, The Night Manager is a routine thriller about an entrepreneur moonlighting as an arms dealer. It is easy to miss out on the nuances that have gone into creating this self-contained world of intrigue and suspense. Whether one is familiar with John Le Carre’s espionage novel or not, as a stand-alone piece of kitschy art The Night Manager works just fine. The writers Sridhar Raghavan and Sandeep Modi make just the right switches and shifts of mood and location from the original British series to the remake, rendering the remake so distinct that even those who enjoyed the original would love the desi avatar of The Night Manager.
