The Royals: Bhumi Pednekar to romance ‘Prince Charming’ Ishaan Khatter in Netflix’s rom-com series

When an entitled Prince Charming meets a startup whiz, it’s inevitable that they will bump heads! Will their ambitions collide, two worlds clash, or even spark a surprising romance? From palace gates to boardroom debates, ‘The Royals’ marks the first collaboration between Netflix and Pritish Nandy Communications. The modern-day Indian royalty rom-com series is anchored by the undeniable chemistry between Bhumi Pednekar, making her series debut, and Ishaan Khatter.

Meet The Royals

The series will be produced by Pritish Nandy and created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy who are known for their contemporary pop culture and spirited storytelling. “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,” they shared.

They continued, “Sparks and insults will fly when these 2 worlds clash, and that has been great fun for us to create and produce! Netflix’s commitment to championing exceptional and innovative content has always resonated with us. We’re thrilled to be a part of the Netflix family and partner with them to take our tell on a girl-meets-boy, the classic maharaja (king) and aamkumari (commoner) tale, to a global audience.”
