The Royals, created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy and directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, dives into the lives of a contemporary royal family with a mix of glamour, humour, and romance. The series premiered on May 9, 2025, and has already started gathering momentum among OTT audiences. This marks Ishaan and Bhumi’s first project together, and their on-screen chemistry is being appreciated.
