Netflix's "royal" brings fictional Indian aristocrats to the global screen.

Netflix's latest Indian series offers viewers a contemporary twist in the romantic comedy genre with shots of the fictional Indian royal family in Morpur's collapsed kingdom.

Created by Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy under its Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC) banner, the star of the series Ishaan Khatter as Aviraaj Singh, barely, the new era prince of Polo-Polo-Polo-Polo-Polo, with Sophia Kanmani kanmani Shekhar beside Bhumi Pednekar, cosiply cosity cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply cosiply.

The concept begins with what Rangita Pritish Nandy calls the “dichotomy” and explores the tension between traditional royalty and modern entrepreneurial spirit. "Technically, the Indian royal family does not exist. It has not existed since it was abolished in 1950." "So you have palaces, you have obvious wealth and luxury exhibitions...but unlike the rest of the world, we have no monarchy anywhere in India."

The royalties no longer existed since the time India became a republic on January 26, 1950. However, they continue to enjoy privileges, including a monetary allowance called a private wallet, which was repealed in 1971 (some cases are prohibited). Many former Indian palaces are now operated as five-star hotels.

“Take out the full points of wealth from the hands of people who have or are expected to have wealth and put wealth and power in the hands of the entire Warriors’ entrepreneurial tribe, all of which hold their own claims and are accompanied by ever-changing privileges and enjoy romance with a romantic attitude because I am a rom-com babys babys babys nandy nandy, type.

The series follows an unlikely partnership between Aviraaj and Sophia as they work to transform Morpur’s struggling Haveli (Royal Mansion) into a luxurious B&B experience, resulting in a huge swagger that evolves into something more. Nandy notes that “Royals” differ from standard romantic comedy by “putting core romance in a thriving world with its own energy… a dysfunctional family, dysfunctional workplace”, creating more dynamic forces to separate and unite the protagonists.

For Bhumi Pednekar, playing Sophia represents her previous role. "Everything she did was in a specific bracket, and she was very successful in this regard. For her, it was a different note in her script." The character herself embodies the unapologetic heroine who has become the PNC logo, especially Prime Video's Emmy-nominated series "Please Four More Shots", created by Nandy.

"I think the only thing we have to do is we never apologize for our women," Nandy said. "So it's always a way to make them fuss, make mistakes... let them organically go to that goal."

The casting of Bhumi opposite Ishaan was intentional, trying to create compelling screen dynamics. "It's just the fact that they are yin and yang," Nandy revealed. "We put them in a room and you can see them chemistry from Word Go, but it's not a typical chemistry. They're all Alpha."

Ishan Khatter, who recently starred in the Netflix hit movie The Perfect Couple, is "on the cast list of Word Go", and Netflix recommends Pednekar. “The day I met her, I said, that’s it…she was perfect,” Nandy said. "Knowing that they can do it, just meet the actors because they are all aces."

For those viewers who highlighted in Khatter's naked scenes in the trailer, Nandy humorously admitted: "I'm embarrassed to say it's a lot of times and no one will complain."

The ensemble cast includes Indian screen legends Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Sush, Udit Arowrara, Lisa Mishra and Lisa Mishra and Likuke Kenny.

When asked about the ever-evolving landscape of the Indian series on global platforms such as Netflix, Nandi emphasized the importance of cultural authenticity. “I think at least what we have to do as content creators outside India is that we have to put India in front and center of what we are making,” she said. “Every time we do that, we are able to take something inside the outside world, not just the apes of the western world.”

She continued: “A lot of the content produced today is similar to what the world creates. That’s where shows like “Royals” stand out because you’re talking about royalty, but you’re talking about Indian royalty that doesn’t exist.” The series offers viewers around the world a glimpse of “the world of palaces…and the inner corridors of palace life”, which Nandi describes as “the exciting and exotic mood of the rest of the world.”

Nandy revealed that the show was directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Atthana and written by Neha Veena Sharma and has been written for about a year and a half. "What we've always hoped is that our final game is to get another season. So if you don't have a memorable character, you want to welcome you into the character at home...you'll never enjoy the show."

This focus on creating a comprehensive role has attracted PNC to top talent. "The actors actually like to join the boat because they can dig out so much meat and have fun with these characters," Nandy explained.

Nandy reflects the evolution of the PNC since its inception, noting that their core approach has not changed dramatically. Their early films, such as "Chameli", "Jhankaar Beats", "Pyaar Ke Side Effects" and "Shaadi Ke Side Effects", were "never traditional Bollywood products", but with the advent of diversity, they found success that allowed them to reach "a more modern audience in the city."

"I feel like what we do is always talking to a larger and even wider world. In fact, that was the obstacle at the time, and now it is our greatest wealth."

As for the future, “I will still live in a palace in India,” Nandi said of the potential plans for season 2. "Nothing is as beautiful as India. I don't think we're telling Indian stories about India. We always run away somewhere abroad and there's a lot to say here."

"Royals" are now streaming on Netflix worldwide.
