Netflix’s recent outing The Royals featuring Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar with a special appearance of Zeenat Aman has been garnering criticism for its weak storytelling and the lack of chemistry between the lead pair.

The director of the show Priyanka Ghose has now reacted to the criticism and said she will try better next but there are people, who have liked The Royals and Ishaan-Bhumi’s chemistry. “With Bhumi’s casting by Netflix, I was actually very open to the idea of trying this new pairing. They are both such powerful actors, and I was excited to see them embody glamourous roles, which goes against both of their works so far. While Ishaan hasn’t got a chance to play a glamorous mainstream hero role, Bhumi has always been like the queen of heartland India,” she told India Today.

Talking about the chemistry, she added, “If it didn’t work for some people, I will try better next time. But there are also people who enjoyed the show and their chemistry. It’s crazy how polarised the feedback has been.”

“Ishaan is an intelligent actor, and he wouldn’t have agreed to take his shirt off at the drop of a hat. He is always conscious of that, and there were times when he even discussed if we were overdoing it. There was actually an amazing fashionable wardrobe for him, and we would have loved to use more clothes on him,” Priyanka shared.

Claiming that Zeenat’s character was always a cameo, she went on to add, “It was never meant to be a full track. Whenever we have legendary superstars making cameo appearances, we crave more, and the same happened with Zeenat ma’am. As much as I would have loved, the script had only those many scenes.”

The show also featured Sakshi Tanwar, Milind Soman, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea, and others in prominent roles.
