Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar has announced the release of a powerful new track titled ‘Who Rules The World’ for the upcoming Netflix series ‘The Royals.’ The actress shared the news through an energetic Instagram post, urging fans to stream the song before their friends discover it first.
Royal Anthem Arrives With Star Power
The Instagram post features what appears to be promotional material for the song, highlighting its connection to the upcoming Netflix series ‘The Royals.’ In her caption, Pednekar enthusiastically declares, “This song didn’t come to play, it’s come to SLAY,” emphasizing the track’s bold and commanding nature.
The music video boasts an impressive lineup of talent including Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar, Nora Fatehi, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Dino Morea, Chunky Panday, and Milind Soman. Musical artists Lisa Mishra and Kavya Trehan also feature in the project, alongside actors Vihaan Samat and Sumukhi Suresh, making this a truly star-studded collaboration.
The song ‘Who Rules The World’ appears to be an anthem for ‘The Royals,’ which is set to premiere on Netflix on May 9, according to Pednekar’s recent promotional posts.
Inside ‘the Royals’ Netflix Series
Based on Bhumi’s recent Instagram activity, ‘The Royals’ seems to be centered around a fictional royal palace called Motibagh Mahal. The series appears to blend royal intrigue with contemporary business themes, as evidenced by one of Pednekar’s earlier posts which described her character Sophia Shekhar as a CEO for whom “shahi mahal bhi ek business model hai” (even a royal palace is a business model).
Another post from Pednekar’s account teased the show’s premise with the caption: “A ziddi rajkumar meets a girlboss aamkumari. Royal mess, ya shahi love story?” suggesting a romantic storyline between a stubborn prince and a determined businesswoman.
The series is produced by Pritish Nandy Communications, as tagged in Pednekar’s promotional posts, and features a diverse ensemble cast including veteran actress Zeenat Aman and model-actor Milind Soman.
Bhumi Pednekar: Breaking Boundaries On And Off Screen
The release of this bold anthem aligns with Bhumi Pednekar’s reputation as an actor who consistently pushes boundaries. Pednekar made her acting debut in 2015 with the critically acclaimed film ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha,’ where she played an overweight bride and gained significant weight for the role. Her willingness to transform physically for her characters established her as a committed performer from the beginning of her career.
Pednekar is known for taking on unconventional roles that challenge societal norms. In a recent Instagram post where she was featured in a conversation with Lilly Singh, she discussed “redefining what it means to be a good Indian girl.” The post highlighted how Pednekar uses her platform to spark important conversations about female pleasure, body positivity, and challenging patriarchal norms while maintaining cultural pride.
The actress has been especially busy in recent weeks, promoting not only ‘The Royals’ but also her film ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi,’ which is now streaming on Hotstar, according to her social media updates.
Anticipation Builds For The Series Launch
Pednekar has been generating excitement for ‘The Royals’ through a series of posts that offer glimpses into the show’s world. In one post, she invites viewers to Motibagh Mahal with the caption “Muskuraiye, Aap Motibagh Mahal main pahunch gaye hai” (Smile, you have reached Motibagh Palace), suggesting an immersive, grand setting for the series.
The actress has also been teasing her character’s personality through cryptic posts including one that simply states, “This girl is out of control,” possibly hinting at her role’s rebellious or unconventional nature.
With its blend of royal intrigue, business drama, and romantic elements, ‘The Royals’ appears positioned to be a major addition to Netflix’s Indian content lineup, further bolstered by its star-studded cast and now a powerful theme song that promises to “rule your playlist.”
Fans can stream ‘Who Rules The World’ now through the link in Bhumi Pednekar’s Instagram bio, while the full series ‘The Royals’ is set to premiere on Netflix on May 9.
