Zeenat Aman
For the first time, it's not the story or the protagonists that's making viewers excited for The Royals. Yesteryear actor Zeenat Aman will be making her return to the screen in the Pritish Nandy production, created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy. Since her exciting and, might we say, explosive debut on Instagram, Aman is all anyone has spoken about. The series, starring Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, is about what happens when an entitled Prince Charming locks horns with a startup whiz. It's a new-age romance that sees two worlds clash, ambitions collide, and romance bloom.
Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Udit Arora, Lisa Mishra, and Luke Kenny round out this ensemble.
The shooting was wrapped up in March last year. In an interview with us, Vihaan had said that his casting was a five-month process. Singer Mishra said that every day on the set was "like a master class." As per sources, the Netflix offering is inspired by the different royal families of Rajasthan, which is blended with fact and fiction. The show will travel back and forth between two eras - the present day and the past decades.
