The Night Manager the audience will experience the unexpected. Shelly Rungta is the evil in plain sight,
you can never anticipate what his next move is going to be or he is the man behind the menace. But the

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.”
