Instead of Pednekar, it’s worth mentioning that she has gained significant recognition through her performances in the films “Dum Laga Ke Haisha”, “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha”, and “Pati Patni Aur Woh”. You might also be familiar with her portrayal of Chandro Tomar in the biographical drama film “Saand Ki Aankh” and as Suman “Sumi” Singh in the comedy-drama movie “Badhaai Do”. Notably, Pednekar is set to make her debut in a television series for the first time with “The Royals”.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming Netflix series, “The Royals,” will be graced by the legendary Indian actress, Zeenat Aman. She has left indelible marks on the cinematic world with her roles in iconic films like “Haré Rama Haré Krishna,” “Don,” and “Insaf Ka Tarazu.” In addition to Zeenat, the talented cast of “The Royals” includes Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, Milind Soman, Chunky Panday, Vihaan Samat, Kavya Trehan, Sumukhi Suresh, Udit Arora, Lisa Mishra, and Luke Kenny. I can hardly wait to witness this extraordinary ensemble bring their characters to life!

Pritish Nandy, along with his daughters Rangita and Ishita, are the masterminds behind the creation of a romantic drama series. The production company responsible for this series is Pritish Nandy Communications. Furthermore, Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana were in charge of directing various episodes, while Neha Veena Sharma penned the scripts.

According to Tanya Bami, the Series Head at Netflix India, here is her take on the latest series available on Netflix.
