Mumbai, February 17 – Bollywood star Anil Kapoor shared a heartfelt message on his social media account on Tuesday to mark the third anniversary of his acclaimed series, "The Night Manager."
Kapoor posted a powerful still from the show and reflected on how a particular scene resonated deeply with his own personal and professional journey.
He wrote, "Three years of 'The Night Manager.' This scene reflects so much of where I began in life and in my career. I don't always like revisiting the past, especially the moments when I was misunderstood or judged for the person I was becoming. People sometimes think they can step on your toes, without realizing what it has taken to get where you are. And then, in certain moments, the real you surfaces, shaped by everything you've experienced, standing where you do."
He added, "While this character was very different from me, there was something deeply personal about this scene that I connected with. Instead of approaching it with anger or loudness, I chose to express a quieter, more internal truth. Sandeep, the writers, and I worked closely on it, keeping my own journey and the way I've built my personal and professional life in mind while shaping this moment."
Expressing gratitude to the audience, he wrote, "It means a lot that audiences connected with this scene as deeply as we did while creating it."
"The Night Manager" is an Indian adaptation of John le Carré's novel of the same name, which premiered in 2023. The espionage thriller was directed by Sandeep Modi and Priyanka Ghose.
The series, along with Anil Kapoor, also featured Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead role, alongside Sobhita Dhulipala.
Anil Kapoor portrayed the role of a suave yet menacing arms dealer, Shelly Rungta.
"The Night Manager," released in two parts in February and June 2023, emerged as one of the most-watched Hindi web series on the streaming platform.
