On the Indian adaptation, Simon Cornwell, Co-Founder, The Ink Factory said, "It was completely fundamental to us that this should become an Indian story; that it should feel that it was rooted in India, and belonged in India. For us, this was an opportunity to take the original story and use it as the starting point for a whole new and wonderful journey of creative discovery. We were blessed to have a great wealth of creative talent come together around this show: it is quite extraordinary, and very exciting indeed. We had huge support from the Disney+ Hotstar team too, who have been wonderful from beginning to end of the journey. What a privilege to be able to take a story like this and tell it in a whole new world, in a whole new way: it's just a wonderful thing. The teams have put together a great show. It is grand in every way. I would happily borrow some elements from this version to add to the original one: The Indian Night Manager is bubbling with great moments and great ideas. I can’t wait for our audience to see the show, and I hope they love it as much as I do"
