Aditya Roy Kapur on his Night Manager role: “I had to really work hard on my physique and not look buff”

Two powerhouses, two different sides, one massive clash - witness loggerheads Shelly Rungta and Shantanu Sengupta get into the cinematic showdown of the year. Get ready to check in as Disney+ Hotstar introduces you to the spiraling world of revenge, deception, and revelation, with the much-awaited spy thriller Hotstar Specials’ The Night Manager, a Hindi-language adaptation of John le Carré’s novel “The Night Manager”. 

The series is wrapped in lavish drama, and picturesque sights and features eclectic talent including Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sobhita Dhulipala, Tillotama Shome, Saswata Chatterjee, and Ravi Behl. Produced by The Ink Factory and Banijay Asia, the series is created and directed by Sandeep Modi and second director Priyanka Ghosh. 

Looking right for any character is an important box to tick off in the checklist, for getting into any role. Our handsome and supremely talented, Aditya Roy Kapur left no stone unturned in acing his fitness game and looking perfect as the Night manager.

Talking about his fitness and look, Aditya Roy Kapoor said, 

“I had to really work hard on my physique and not look buff- There was obviously a physicality involved and this role demanded it as well. I had to really work hard on my physique to look in shape but not overdo it! It's all about the diet and making sure you stay consistent, eating clean, and training hard kind of got tough at one point because there were portions that I had to shoot where we were putting in long hours and trying to keep the body and the diet going along with that shoot was taxing. But it’s all part of the job."

Get set to open the doors to a web of secrets and conspiracies with The Night Manager exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar, from 17th February onwards.
