The Royals Season 2 Changes Director Twice Before Tanuj Chopra Takes Over
The Royals season 2, starring Ishaan Khatter, has experienced multiple director changes shortly after filming began in Rajasthan. Jasmeet K Reen left after three days, followed by Mitakshara Kumar, whose creative vision reportedly differed from the production team. Netflix then suggested Tanuj Chopra, known for directing Delhi Crime seasons 2 and 3, who has taken over directing duties. Production has resumed in Mumbai, with the team describing the departures as amicable. Bhumi Pednekar, lead in season 1, is not part of the new season.
