The team of The Night Manager also walked the red carpet. Actor Aditya Roy Kapur looked dapper in a black tuxedo. The actor attended the event with his team. The Indian version of The Night Manager, which is directed by Sandeep Modi, also features Tillotama Shome, Ravi Behl and Saswata Chatterjee in supporting roles.
Stand-up comedian and actor Vir Das, who won his first International Emmy Award last year for his Netflix special Landing, turned heads as a host at the International Emmy Awards 2024.
