Malang stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Anil Kapoor to headline Indian adaptation of The Night Manager for Disney+ Hotstar  October 01, 2021 at 10:20AM

Last year in September, reports surfaced that Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan will be making his OTT debut with the Hindi adaptation of the British mini-series The Night Manager. The series was to be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar and the actor was reportedly being paid a huge sum around the vicinity of Rs. 75 crore for the same. However, back in February this year, it was reported that the actor backed out from the project. This was followed by Manoj Bajpayee's exit who couldn't be part of it due to the unavailability of the dates. So, the makers began to hunt two actors and now they've found their characters in Malang stars, Aditya Roy Kapur and Anil Kapoor.
