In a chat with HT, Bhumi Pednekar revealed that she had turned down several web shows that later became major successes.
She explained that “while those projects were impressive, she didn't feel the same connection with them as she did with The Royals. According to her, the decision also reflected the kind of roles she was looking for at that stage in her career.”
Bhumi shared that the script and the genre both influenced her decision to say yes to The Royals. She expressed her love for romantic comedies, calling it her all-time favorite genre, and added that she feels filmmakers aren’t making enough of them.
Recalling when she first read the script, Bhumi revealed that she had been hospitalized with dengue at the time, but once she started reading, she couldn't put it down.
