The Night Manager, a television series created by Sandeep Modi, is a remake of the British television series The Night Manager (2016) based on the John Le Carre's novel of the same name. Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sobhita Dhulipala headlined the series. Tillotama Shome, Ravi Behl, Saswata Chatterjee were seen in pivotal roles in the series. The series released on Disney Plus Hotstar. The series was produced by Banijay Asia and The Ink Factory.

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave The Night Manager Season 2 three stars and he wrote, "If the first part was a case of style overpowering substance by a distance, Part 2 of The Night Manager moves appreciably closer to achieving some consonance between the two elements. The visual flamboyance is intact, the pacing is even and the tying up of the loose ends is infinitely neater, making this a convincing conclusion marked by steady performances and sustained technical sheen.
