The Hindu
Netflix India launches 'The Royals' trailer, a rom-com series starring Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, premiering May 9.
Netflix India on Tuesday (April 22) launched the trailer for The Royals, a self-described ‘royalty rom-com’ set to stream on the platform from May 9. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the series is headlined by Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar and Bollywood veteran Zeenat Aman. The ballroom-filing ensemble includes Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Udit Arora, Lisa Mishra and Luke Kenny.
Written by Neha Veena Sharma, The Royals chronicles the fortuitous romance between an entitled royal scion, Aviraaj (Ishaan) and a self-made entrepreneur, Sophia (Bhumi). With his father, the maharaj of Morpur, passing on, Aviraaj has to graduate from polo and take on the royal reins. Enter Sophia: who wants to their the pristine Moti Mahal into a Royal B&B.
Against this foreground of blossoming love, the show tracks the comic, cacophonic dysfunctions of an Indian royal family, its profligate members stuck between tradition and change.
Speaking about the show, Bhumi Pednekar said: ““This show gave me a chance to play with my wardrobe, which I love so deeply. I’ve never chased playing an urban girl or playing a character that is away from what I usually do. I always go for scripts”. She called the series “sensitive” and “progressive” in core, adding that all types of audiences will feel represented watching it.
“It’s a fresh take on the romance between royal and a commoner. Most people thought this was a period piece when there were early talks about ‘The Royals’, but there is going to be a lot more,” Ishaan Khatter said.
