A bold Hindi-language re-interpretation of John le Carré’s best-selling novel The Night Manager, inspired by the 2016 Ink Factory English-language television show directed by Susanne Bier and starring Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston.
In this espionage thriller we follow Night Manager Shaan Sengupta (Aditya Roy Kapur) as he is recruited by RAW agent Lipika Sakia Rao (Tillotome Show) to bring down global arms dealer Shailendra ‘ Shelly’ Rungta (Anil Kapoor).

Shaan’s infiltration into the criminal mastermind’s world forces him take bigger risks, threatening to expose his cover, all while Shelly’s suspicions of a mole in his organisation begins to grow…
