Welcome to Morpur: Where Crowns Meet Corporate Hustle
The Royals Trailer teases an intriguing premise: a calculated agreement to save a palace morphs into an unpredictable journey of affection and chaos. Ishaan Khatter plays Aviraaj Singh, a polo-obsessed prince hesitant to shoulder responsibility. Opposite him, Bhumi Pednekar’s Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, a razor-sharp CEO, enters Morpur not for love, but for legacy rebranding.
Together, they plan to transform the once-glorious haveli into a lavish B&B experience. But between boardroom meetings and royal dinners, sparks fly. Personalities clash. Romance blooms. And the ride becomes anything but smooth.
Khatter and Pednekar Talk Chemistry and Characters
Speaking about the experience, Bhumi Pednekar says, “Playing Sophia felt like stepping into a world that’s both aspirational and deeply relatable. She’s fierce, ambitious, and emotionally honest — qualities I’ve always been drawn to. I’m glad I could collaborate with Netflix and Pritish Nandy Communications for The Royals and extremely grateful that they brought this series to life — I hope people have as much fun watching it as we did making it.”
Ishaan Khatter echoes her excitement: “To share the screen with such legendary and accomplished actors has been inspiring and a joy. This marks my second collaboration with Netflix globally and my first with Netflix India and it has been an adventure yet again. The Royals is a fresh, modern-day rom-com — zany, unpredictable, and packed with surprises. I can’t wait for audiences to dive into the world of Morpur and binge it all! There’s a lot of love, drama, humour — something for everyone. Maharaja Aviraaj is the most frustratingly charming character I’ve essayed and I hope the audience enjoys watching him as much as I enjoyed playing the role.”
