In collaboration with Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC), Netflix is set to redefine the romance genre with their latest offering, The Royals.
This modern-day Indian royalty rom-com series brings together a stellar ensemble cast featuring Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter in lead roles, supported by the legendary Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Milind Soman, Dino Morea, and more. The series promises to captivate global audiences with its blend of old-world charm and contemporary storytelling.
A Unique Collaboration Between Netflix and PNC
The Royals marks the first collaboration between Netflix and Pritish Nandy Communications, which are known for their vibrant and contemporary storytelling. Produced by Pritish Nandy and created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, the series brings together the grandeur of Indian royalty with the drive and ambition of today’s startup culture. The result is a tale where two worlds collide, and sparks fly, leading to unexpected romance and witty repartees.
Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy shared their excitement, saying, “The Royals being our very first with Netflix had to be just the right blend of coming-of-age India, Gen Z storytelling, and feisty fun! There is the inevitable romance of old royalty; monarchs without crowns, and the incredible drive of today’s startup warriors for whom crowns hold zero shine. Sparks and insults will fly when these two worlds clash, which has been great fun for us to create and produce! Netflix’s commitment to championing exceptional and innovative content has always resonated. We’re thrilled to be a part of the Netflix family and partner with them to take our take on a girl-meets-boy, the classic maharaja (king) and aamkumari (commoner) tale, to a global audience.”
A Star-Studded Cast and Powerful Direction
Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, The Royals is poised to become a hallmark of new-age romance. Bhumi Pednekar, making her series debut, stars alongside Ishaan Khatter, whose undeniable chemistry is set to light up the screens. The series also marks the Netflix debut of the legendary Zeenat Aman in a very special appearance, adding a touch of nostalgia and elegance.
The ensemble cast is further strengthened by the presence of Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Udit Arora, Lisa Mishra, and Luke Kenny, each bringing their unique flair to the series.
