MUMBAI: (Apr 22) Actor Bhumi Pednekar on Tuesday said her upcoming debut OTT series, “The Royals”, will bring back the genre of romance, which once dominated the screens in the 90s.
The eight-episode drama, pitched as a love story between a prince and a commoner, revolves around Ishaan Khatter’s Aviraaj Singh, the pauper prince of fictional erstwhile royalty Morpur and Bhumi’s Sophia Shekhar, the CEO of Work Potato.
“In the 90s, all the superstars made their careers on the back of romance. Today, the genre is just not taken seriously. It’s truly tough convincing people that you are in love with a stranger. I don’t know why people don’t write enough, but I feel there are all these seasons.
