Global dance sensation and actress Nora Fatehi is set to appear in the upcoming Netflix series ‘The Royals,’ slated for release on May 9. The announcement came through an Instagram post revealing the show’s royal family lineup, which features an impressive ensemble cast.
The Instagram post showcases an image introducing viewers to ‘Rajkumar Aviraaj Singh’s shahi parivaar’ (Royal Prince Aviraaj Singh’s royal family), inviting audiences to watch the series exclusively on Netflix.
Star-Studded Ensemble With Veteran Actors
The series boasts an impressive lineup of talent across generations. Notable cast members include Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter, veteran actress Sakshi Tanwar, and iconic Bollywood legend Zeenat Aman. Nora Fatehi joins this stellar cast alongside other performers, including Milind Soman, Dino Morea, and Chunky Panday.
The project is produced by Pritish Nandy Communications, with the post tagging production team members including Pritish Nandy, Rangita Pritish Nandy, and Ishita Pritish Nandy.
Nora Fatehi’s Expanding Acting Portfolio
While details about Nora’s role in ‘The Royals’ remain under wraps, this appearance adds to her growing acting credentials. The Moroccan-Canadian performer has gradually expanded her presence in Indian cinema beyond her dance performances.
Fatehi, who rose to prominence with her exceptional dancing abilities in songs like ‘Dilbar’ and ‘Garmi,’ has been strategically building her acting career with selective roles. Her participation in ‘The Royals’ marks another significant step in her evolution as a versatile performer in the Indian entertainment industry.
Recent Chart-Topping Success With ‘Snake’
The announcement comes during a career-high moment for Nora, whose recent international collaboration ‘Snake’ with Jason Derulo has been climbing global charts. Just days ago, the BBC Asian Music Chart announced that the track had reached the number one position, demonstrating Fatehi’s growing international appeal.
The dance track has sparked a viral trend, with Nora actively engaging with fans’ choreography attempts on social media. She recently posted a video with dancer Denise Alexe, captioning it: “Snake climbing up the music charts! Had to link up with my girl to teach her a thing or two about moving like a snake.”
In a recent interview with Brides Today magazine, where she appeared as the cover star, Nora shared insights about working across different film industries. She stated, “Bollywood is a huge platform with a massive audience. The energy, glamour and scale of the projects are all exciting. South Indian cinema, on the other hand, is known for its strong narratives, rich cultures and larger-than-life characters.”
This perspective highlights her understanding of diverse cinematic cultures, something that likely contributes to her ability to navigate both Indian film industries and international music collaborations successfully.
What To Expect From ‘The Royals’
While plot details remain scarce, the series title and promotional material suggest a drama centered around royal family dynamics. The inclusion of performers from different generations indicates the series may span multiple timelines or feature complex family relationships.
The production appears to be a significant venture for Netflix India, bringing together established stars with newer talent. The streaming platform has been investing heavily in Indian original content, and ‘The Royals’ seems positioned as one of their major releases for 2025.
With its May 9 premiere date fast approaching, viewers can anticipate more reveals about character details and storylines in the coming weeks.
For Nora Fatehi fans, ‘The Royals’ offers a chance to see the performer in a potentially different light from her dance-centric projects. Having gradually built her acting credentials, this high-profile series could represent an important milestone in establishing her versatility in the entertainment industry.
As audiences await the series premiere, the combination of renowned veteran actors with contemporary stars promises an intriguing royal drama when ‘The Royals’ debuts on Netflix next month.
