inevitable. The Night Manager pulls this off on the back of fascinatingly complex characters. As they say,
still waters run deep, and my character Shaan very much embodies that phrase. One can never tell
what’s on his mind but you know the wheels are furiously turning, taking the plot from one unexpected
turn to another. It’s been a great experience working with some of the finest talent of the Indian film
industry, assembled by the dynamic team at Disney+ Hotstar.”
