All about The Royals

In the series, Ishaan will play the role of Aviraaj Singh, who has a royal background, while Bhumi is likely to play an ordinary girl who serves as a CEO. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the upcoming show also stars Zeenat Aman, Nora Fatehi, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, Lisa Mishra, Sumukhi Suresh, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Udit Arora, and Luke Kenny in pivotal roles. 

The show is created by Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy, who spilt the beans about their show and shared that they have mixed together the old-world charm of palaces and Indian royalty with glass-walled bedrooms.

"The series is about two people from completely different worlds, each fighting their own battles, constantly at odds, yet irresistibly drawn to each other in ways they never expected—remember how you never want the good one but always chase after the one you know is trouble?—that’s The Royals for you," the creators said.
