Representing India and Indian cinema at the International Emmys is a huge honour, said director Sandeep Modi, whose series The Night Manager is vying for the drama series trophy at the awards gala. The Night Manager, starring Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sobhita Dhulipala, is the only entry from India across 14 categories at the awards, organised by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

Representing India and Indian cinema at the International Emmys is a huge honour for our show and I hope we can win this award and repay this love and faith from Indian fans across the globe at the award ceremony," Modi told PTI, adding that it was "immensely moving to be received with so much warmth in New York by our Indian diaspora and the IAAC family." The series, co-directed by Priyanka Ghose, is adapted from both - the John le Carre's novel and its British series adaptation, starring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman.
