Netflix unveils poster for The Royals featuring Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, premiering May 9
In The Royals, Bhumi Pednekar takes on the role of Sophia Shekhar, a daring and impressive CEO of an organization called Work Potato, while Ishaan Khatter plays Aviraaj Singh, a captivating and flamboyant party prince.
Creators Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy said, “With The Royals, we’ve mounted a romance that whips together the old-world charm of palaces and Indian royalty with glass-walled boardrooms and modern reality—where love is anything but easy.”
The creators revealed that The Royals tells the story of two individuals from entirely different worlds, each coping with their very own struggles. Despite being continuously at odds, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to at least one one other in unexpected ways.
The creators shared, “As they clash, challenge, storm, and rage against one another to prove their value, they have to also discover whether their love can survive the chaos that’s them. Expect drama, humor, and a complete lot of fireplace!”
Tanya Bami, Series Head at Netflix India, added, “Rom-coms have a timeless charm; they make us laugh, consider in love, and embrace the attractive chaos that comes with it. With The Royals, we’ve created a contemporary love story that has an equally modern-day conflict. While Bridgerton and Emily in Paris showed the world how compelling romantic sagas will be, The Royals brings that sizzle and swoon to a world that’s unapologetically Indian.
“It’s not only a love story; it’s royalty reimagined with heart, humor, and magnificence,” the makers said.
Netflix also unveiled the poster for The Royals, featuring a romantic moment between Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter. The 2 stand closely in a softly lit, warm-toned setting, holding one another tenderly. Their foreheads and noses nearly touch, capturing a moment of deep emotional intimacy and connection.
The poster was accompanied by the caption: “A ziddi rajkumar meets a girlboss aamkumari Royal mess, ya shahi love story? Watch The Royals, out 9 May, only on Netflix.”
