There will be friction between a haughty Prince Charming and a tech genius when they meet. Viewers are in for a surprise romance with the collision of worlds and ambitions in The Royals. This is the first project that Netflix and Pritish Nandy Communications have worked together on, and it covers everything from the gates of the palace to boardroom arguments. The contemporary Indian royal rom-com series revolves around the incontestable chemistry shared by Ishaan Khatter, and Bhumi Pednekar, who is making her series debut.
Introduction to The Royals
The Royals, produced by Pritish Nandy with assistance from Rangita and Ishita, had to be the ideal fusion of coming-of-age India, Gen Z storytelling, and feisty fun. This was their first project with Netflix. While modern startup fighters, for whom crowns are completely unnecessary, exude a tremendous deal of energy, there is an inescapable allure to bygone monarchs who wore no such thing.
According to the announcement video, it seems like the team has had a blast coming up with and producing the inevitable confrontation between these two realms, where insults and sparks fly. Netflix's dedication to promoting groundbreaking and outstanding content has always moved them. Working with the Netflix family to bring their modern spin on the age-old story of a girl meeting a boy—the maharaja (king) and aamkumari (commoner) tale—to an international audience is an incredible honour.
The cast and their roles
Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana's new romantic comedy series looks intriguing indeed. Legendary actor Zeenat Aman makes a triumphant return to the screen in a one-off performance that coincides with her Netflix debut, joining Pednekar and Khatter. Milind Soman, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Udit Arora, Lisa Mishra, and Luke Kenny complete the ensemble.
Tanya Bami, the head of series at Netflix India, asserts that everyone loves a wonderful romance. With its breathtaking location and stellar ensemble, The Royals is a contemporary take on the classic royal romance. The delightful blend of humour and wit that is characteristic of Rangita and Ishita Nandy's works is sure to captivate the viewers in this captivating modern fairy tale. It has been an incredible experience working on their debut production with them and the magnificent cast, which includes the stunning Bhumi, the utterly delightful Ishaan Khattar, and the vivacious Zeenat Aman. They are very excited to bring this gift to viewers shortly.
An invitation to viewers
This series promises the makings of an ideal binge-watch, with its blend of romance, ambition, desire, and the charm of royalty. The makers invite viewers to prepare for an emotional journey filled with love, laughter, and regal repartees as they introduce The Royals to Netflix soon.
