Director Jasmeet K Reen Exits The Royals Season 2; Mitakshara Kumar Takes Over
Netflix's The Royals Season 2 is filming in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, with returning cast members including Ishaan Khatter and Nora Fatehi. Director Jasmeet K Reen exited after three days due to reported creative differences with producer Rangita Nandy, particularly over scripting and execution. Mitakshara Kumar, known for her work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, replaced her without causing delays. Bhumi Pednekar, the first season's female lead, is reportedly not returning, while new cast members Gurfateh Pirzada and Sini Shetty have joined.
