Sakshi Tanwar has replaced Mallika Sherawat in Pritish Nandy’s upcoming series titled The Royals. Initially cast to play Ishaan Khatter’s mother, Mallika Sherawat exited the show due to creative differences, as reported by Bombay Times. It has since been confirmed that actress Sakshi Tanwar has stepped into the role.

According to ETimes, Sakshi Tanwar is currently on set filming for The Royals, which features Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles. However, no official confirmation has been issued by the makers or the production team. The series promises to offer an enthralling glimpse into the lavish lifestyles of Indian aristocracy, blending real and imagined stories from various Rajasthani royal families.

Regarding Mallika Sherawat’s departure, her team previously relayed to the media that she left the show. “Mallika exited the project in February due to creative differences with the production team. The role did not align with what had been initially promised. After several discussions, she ultimately decided to depart,” Mallika’s team informed ETimes earlier. This exit paved the way for Tanwar to join the ensemble cast.

According to Mid-Day, Netflix has approved The Royals, which will alternate between present-day and past decades. The narrative features Bhumi Pednekar as a prominent entrepreneur, with the series being made on a grand scale like The Crown. The filming commenced on February 10 in Rajasthan, with scenes captured at authentic settings like the City Palace and Rambagh Palace. The production, directed by Nupur Asthana and Priyanka Ghose, promises a stylish and emotional drama exploring the style, politics, and fabulous lives of aristocrats.
