Ishaan Khatter to return with The Royals Season 2
On the work front, Ishaan Khatter was last seen in Homebound. The film, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, follows two childhood friends, Chandan, a Dalit (Vishal Jethwa), and Shoaib, a Muslim (Ishaan Khatter). Set in a North Indian town, Homebound depicts how they set out to become police officers in hopes of escaping the deep-seated hostility they face. However, life takes an unexpected turn when the exam results are delayed, jeopardising their future and challenging their friendship as their desperation intensifies.
Now, Ishaan is preparing for the next season of his web series The Royals. The makers had earlier confirmed that the show will return with a new season on Netflix. When the announcement was made, the team wrote, “Old money, new blood, and a new season is in the works. The Royals Season 2 is coming soon, only on Netflix.”
The first season featured a cast that included Bhumi Pednekar, Udit Arora, Zeenat Aman, and Sakshi Tanwar, along with Ishaan. The series follows the story of Prince Aviraaj Singh, played by Ishaan, who struggles to handle the responsibilities of royal life after the death of his father, King Yuvanath.
