Excited about the project, Zeenat Aman said, " I find myself as passionate as ever about embracing new roles and opportunities. The Royals has been both refreshing and creatively fulfilling. Collaborating with vibrant young talents, brimming with energy and fresh perspectives, ensured that every moment on set was lively and engaging. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Pritish Nandy Communications and Netflix for bringing this extraordinary tale of romance, and for including me in this project."

Bhumi Pednekar also shared her experience working in 'The Royals'.

In a press note, she said, " 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 added, " 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 him as much as I enjoyed playing the role. "

'The Royals' will be out on Netflix on May 9.

The cast is amazing but I'm a bit worried about the storyline. The "prince meets CEO" trope feels overdone. Hope they bring something fresh to it!

The production quality looks top-notch. That palace set is stunning! But I wonder if the story will have enough depth beyond the glitz and romance.

The trailer gave me major Bollywood-meets-Bridgerton vibes. Not complaining though! Looks like perfect weekend binge material.
