The show, which also features Aditya Roy Kapur and Sobhita Dhulipala, was the only entry from India across 14 categories at the nominations that were announced on Thursday. Talking about the nomination, Kapoor said, “It’s just been brought to my attention that our Indian adaption of ‘The Night Manager’ has been nominated for the International Emmy Awards.

But also on the other hand, the huge responsibility of trying to add a newness and an authenticity to a part that had been played so masterfully by Hugh Laurie.“
