In an exciting announcement for streaming fans, Netflix is all set to unveil the trailer for its upcoming series ‘The Royals’ today. The news comes directly from Netflix’s official Instagram page, where you can see a tantalizing glimpse of what you can expect from the show.
The Instagram post features Bhumi alongside Ishaan Khatter, with the caption reading, “Do ziddi dil. One messy deal 👀👑 The Royals, trailer out tomorrow!” The image shows both actors in what appears to be royal-themed attire, setting the stage for what promises to be a drama with royal connections.
From earlier posts on Bhumi’s Instagram, we’ve learned that ‘The Royals’ is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on May 9. The series appears to blend elements of romance and business, with one post describing it as “A ziddi rajkumar meets a girlboss aamkumari 👀 Royal mess, ya shahi love story?”
Bhumi Pednekar takes on the role of Sophia Shekhar, a sharp-minded CEO for whom “shahi mahal bhi ek business model hai,” highlighting her practical, business-driven perspective in a royal world. Meanwhile, Ishaan Khatter plays Prince Aviraaj, a free-spirited, polo-loving heir to the throne of Morpur, introduced in the promotions as the “ziddi rajkumar.”
The series has been produced by Pritish Nandy Communications and has a star-studded cast that includes incredible actors Sakshi Tanwar, Zeenat Aman, Nora Fatehi, Milind Soman, Dino Morea, and Chunky Panday.
The show appears to blend traditional royal elements with contemporary business dynamics, creating what Netflix is positioning as a fresh take on royal dramas. The tagline “Do ziddi dil. One messy deal” (Two stubborn hearts. One messy deal) suggests a romance complicated by business interests or royal obligations.
In the promotional content leading up to the trailer release, the production has been teasing viewers with glimpses of “Motibagh Mahal,” presumably the royal setting where much of the action takes place.
The chemistry between Bhumi’s character and Ishaan’s character seems to be central to the storyline, with their relationship complicated by business interests or royal obligations.
With the trailer dropping today, fans of both actors and Netflix originals from India will soon get a more comprehensive look at what promises to be an intriguing addition to the streaming platform’s growing catalog of Indian content.
