Aditya Roy Kapur arrived in New York to partake in the ceremony on behalf of the crew and cast members of The Night Manager. The actor brought out classic Hollywood glam in a black and white suit. He was accompanied by director Sandeep Modi on the red carpet. The Night Manager, starring Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sobhita Dhulipala, was 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. 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.
