The director, Sandeep Modi, is a big fan of Iron Man and Tony Stark and picked some nuances of Tony Stark’s character to develop the crux of his hero, Shaan, aka Aditya Roy Kapur. Sandeep says, “Tony Stark is against the idea of the misuse of weapons, and if you realise Shaan is also against the same, thematically, they are very similar. And somewhere all heroes have this one thing that binds them, which is their moral compass, and I think both Iron Man and The Night Manager have the same ethos in a way.”
