Hrithik Roshan to begin shoot for The Night Manager remake in April?

Sources say Hrithik Roshan to kick off Night Manager shoot in April with Aarya co-director Sandeep Modi.

Last August, mid-day had reported that Hrithik Roshan was in talks with Disney+Hotstar to make his digital debut with an official adaptation of The Night Manager (Hrithik to give desi twist to The Night Manager?, Aug 5). Five months on, looks like Roshan — arguably the perfect choice to slip into Tom Hiddleston’s role, courtesy his sex appeal and acting skills — is gearing up for the spy act. It is heard that he will kick off the espionage drama in April, under the supervision of Aarya co-director Sandeep Modi.

A source reveals, “Hrithik is looking at a packed 2021. The production house, Banijay Asia, has charted out a two-month Mumbai schedule for the series. The international stints will naturally have to be held off until the travel restrictions ease.” The source adds that in the second-half of 2021, the actor will reunite with his War [2019] director Siddharth Anand for Fighter. "His co-star Deepika Padukone will wrap up Pathan shoot by then."
