Anil Kapoor is super excited about his upcoming web series - The Night Manager. The web series is directed by National Award-winning director Sandeep Modi. Now, the veteran actor has shared a behind-the-scenes moment from the sets of the show, which is a Hindi remake of the British spy series, which starred Tom Hiddleston, Huge Laurie, Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Colman. Here, Anil Kapoor is planting a kiss on Aditya Roy Kapur's cheeks. Aditya looks rough with bruises and blood. For the caption, Anil Kapoor wrote, “What can I say...I like them bloody.” Replying to the post, Sobhita Dhulipala, who is also part of the series, wrote, “Lol…This was the day you looked your best, Aditya Roy Kapur.” Aditya too didn't miss and wrote, “Sirrr” with a ROFL emoji. Actress Shilpa Shetty found it really funny.
The Night Manager will be released on February 17. The web series also features Tillotama Shome, Ravi Behl and Saswata Chatterjee. Now, take a look at the post shared by Anil Kapoor:
In The Night Manager, Anil Kapoor will be seen as an arms dealer - Shailendra Rungta. The character was played by Huge Laurie in the British series.

Anil Kapoor, on the day the trailer of The Night Manager was released, spoke about the responsibility “to do justice to a fantastic book and its wonderful previous adaptation.” In a long note, the actor said, “If danger is bad, I don't want to be good...As we launch the trailer of The Night Manager today, I feel the weight of responsibility to do justice to a fantastic book and its wonderful previous adaptation, but I also feel immense pride and excitement at what this diverse and talented team has managed to accomplish. As you watch this slice of the blood, sweat and tears we have poured into it, I hope our passion and thrill jumps out at you and I hope that you love it!”
