An unseen video from a press conference during the promotions of the just-released series, The Night Manager 2, has recently surfaced online, featuring an awkward moment between actors Anil Kapoor and Sobhita Dhulipala. In the series, they portray a couple, adding an intriguing dynamic to their on-screen chemistry.
The video captures Sobhita and Anil Kapoor laughing heartily as the paparazzi showered them with praises. A member of the media is heard referring to them as a “nice jodi” (a good pair) and a “jhakass jodi” (mind-blowing couple). While Sobhita covers her mouth with her hand, attempting to suppress her laughter, Anil is seen smiling with his hand close to her waist.
After a brief pause, both actors stop smiling and strike poses for the cameras. The video, shared on Reddit, has garnered mixed reactions from social media users.
In another event related to The Night Manager 2, a screening took place in Mumbai, attended by several celebrities including Aditya Roy Kapur, Anil Kapoor, Sobhita Dhulipala, Disha Patani, Vidya Balan, and Siddharth Roy Kapur, among others.
The Night Manager is an Indian adaptation of a British mini-series based on John le Carré’s book. The original series featured Tom Hiddleston in the lead role, alongside a talented ensemble cast including Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, and Elizabeth Debicki. It was originally released in the UK on February 21, 2016.
Regarding the review of The Night Manager 2, created by Sandeep Modi and co-written by Shridhar Raghavan, the series was released on Thursday. While the first part of The Night Manager was well received by critics, the Hindustan Times review of the new season stated, “The problem with this two-part distribution and the long wait between them was two-fold. Firstly, the original version, starring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, and Elizabeth Debicki, is already available in full for viewing in India. Secondly, the Indian adaptation had binge-watch written all over it. Not because it’s nail-bitingly edgy and pacey, but one would’ve preferred to snort it and get it out of the way in one go.”
Fans of Anil Kapoor and Sobhita Dhulipala, along with followers of The Night Manager series, continue to anticipate the unfolding of their on-screen chemistry and the intriguing narrative of The Night Manager 2.
