16th June 2023, Mumbai: The Night Manager has captivated audiences, critics, and the film fraternity with its gripping storyline, making it a binge-worthy spy thriller. Disney+ Hotstar has now announced the release date for Hotstar Specials’ The Night Manager: Part 2, set to premiere on June 30, 2023. The first part left fans wondering about the clash between Shelly Rungta (Anil Kapoor) and Shaan Sengupta (Aditya Roy Kapur), and now the highly anticipated continuation is just around the corner.
While preparing for their characters, actors often face hectic schedules and the challenge of traveling to multiple locations. During one particularly demanding schedule in scorching heat, Sobhita Dhulipala’s makeup artist was unable to make it to the sets. What happened next?
Director Sandeep Modi shared, “Shooting for a show like The Night Manager was packed with challenges and tough sequences. One of the most difficult shoots took place in Rajasthan, in the middle of the desert, with the scorching sun overhead and long hours of shooting. Due to the extreme heat, we couldn’t complete Sobhita’s shoot, and we needed her to stay back for an extra day. Despite having professional commitments the next day, she willingly canceled them and decided to stay back to finish filming. However, another problem arose as her makeup artist had her kids’ birthday the next day and was devastated about missing it. When Sobhita found out, she insisted that the makeup artist go and decided to do her own makeup for the shoot. It’s incredible how empathetic she was, not only managing the shoot but also considering the well-being of her team. Our respect for Sobhita as an artist and as a human grew immensely that day.
“The Night Manager: Part 2 promises to take viewers on a thrilling journey filled with twists and turns. Mark your calendars for the release of this highly anticipated series on Disney+ Hotstar, starting from June 30th onwards. Prepare for another dose of suspense and excitement as the story unfolds.
