Netflix series The Royals will return for a second season with Ishaan Khatter reprising his role as Prince Aviraaj Singh. Miss India World 2022 Sini Shetty and actor Gurfateh Pirzada have joined the cast. The second season is scheduled to begin shooting in Udaipur this week.
The new season will feature a love triangle involving Khatter, Shetty and Pirzada. Bhumi Pednekar, who played Sophia Kanmani Shekhar in the first season, has exited the show. A source told mid-day that the makers chose not to continue the romantic subplot, instead focusing on royal family dynamics. Pednekar is reported to be working on other projects including Daldal 2 and a Netflix film with Imran Khan.

Bollywood Hungama and NDTV focus on the new love triangle. The uniform straight reporting suggests the story is a simple entertainment announcement with no political or corporate controversy. The key watch item is audience reception of the new romantic equation when the season streams.
