Darlings fame Jasmeet K. Reen replaces Nupur Asthana as director of The Royals Season 2: ReportReen, who made her directorial debut with the critically acclaimed film Darlings in 2022, will take over directing responsibilities from Nupur Asthana. Asthana, who helmed the first season alongside Priyanka Ghose, is understood to have stepped away from the project due to prior commitments.

The project, backed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, will reportedly feature Dhurandhar actress Sara Arjun in the lead role.
According to reports, Reen is expected to complete filming for The Royals S2 before beginning work on the Madhubala biopic later this year.

एक टास्क के दौरान एक प्रॉप सामने आया और वह लुंगी निकली, जिसे देखते ही सभी को परशुराम और उनके सिग्नेचर लुक की याद आ गई। मैं उस सेगमेंट का हिस्सा भी नहीं था, लेकिन जैसे ही मैंने लुंगी देखी, मैं खुद को रोक नहीं पाया और तुरंत ;लुंगी डांस पर थिरकने लगा। इस पर सभी खूब हंसे और वह पल हम सबके लिए बेहद यादगार बन गया। स्टार परिवार के इतने सारे कलाकारों के साथ बातचीत करने और मस्ती करने का अनुभव भी शानदार रहा। मुझे उम्मीद है कि दर्शक अपने पसंदीदा सितारों को देखकर उतना ही आनंद लेंगे, जितना हमने इस शो का हिस्सा बनते हुए लिया।
