Bhumi Pednekar on The Royals: 'Don't want to get my hopes high'

Bhumi Pednekar is making her OTT series debut after ten years of making her mark in Hindi cinema with critically praised performances and a growing repertory. The web series The Royals will have her seen co-starring with Ishaan Khatter.

Bold new role for Bhumi Pednekar in The Royals

Both the medium and the type of role that Bhumi plays in her new series are giant departures for her. The Royals marks a departure for Bhumi from her atypical debut role as the charming Sandhya in Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015). In this new character, she plays a gorgeous, powerful entrepreneur.

Bhumi told HT City she's excited for The Royals when asked about her feelings about the show and the anticipation it has garnered. The actor prefers to keep her expectations low and accept the show for what it is. She has received a lot of positive feedback on the assets that they have released thus far. Having people eager to see Ishaan and her together is something she is truly grateful for. She said that his acting is superb.

Fans are fascinated by the chemistry between Bhumi and Ishaan, and their onscreen pairing has already begun to acquire traction. The audience's reaction is encouraging, according to the actor, who has worked with many brilliant performers throughout the years.

Bhumi Pednekar reflects on her decade-long journey

As Bhumi considers the path from her debut to her present incarnation, she realises that she never expected such a dramatic change. The role she is portraying in The Royals is the archetypal heroine. That being said, she does look this way right now, but she is willing to change her appearance quickly if a film role requires it. The fact that the same girl who began her acting career with Dum Laga Ke Haisha a decade ago is also playing this role is more important to her than that, she claims.

While proving her adaptability as an actor, Bhumi takes a risk in The Royals by embracing a new genre. Her debut with a series appears to be going to be another landmark in an already remarkable career, and people are eagerly awaiting the launch on Netflix.
