The upcoming Indian adaptation, which is planned to go into production in April and will be shot in Mumbai, is being produced by Banijay Asia. Some foreign locations will follow after travel becomes easier. Executives close to the project told an official announcement can be expected soon. Although not confirmed yet, the Indian version of the spy drama is expected to premiere on Indian streamer Disney Plus Hotstar.

The story orbits around the night manager of a luxury hotel, a retired soldier, who is recruited by a government spying organization, to infiltrate the inner circle of an arms dealer.
