The Royals: Bhumi Pednekar reveals why she isn’t eyeing Hollywood and it proves her trust in Indian storytelling

Although Hollywood’s allure attracts numerous individuals, actress Bhumi Pednekar has unequivocally declared her dedication and professional commitments lie within India. Currently leading in the upcoming web series “The Royals,” alongside Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi recently expressed her reasons for opting to work solely in India during a talk at the Waves Summit. This choice is made despite the rising trend of Indian actors venturing into international projects.

She enthusiastically conveyed, ‘No place compares to India.’ Filming abroad, Bhumi found that her conviction was strengthened that India is her ideal professional environment. She finds a unique sense of security, recognition, and motivation on Indian sets, which she recently mentioned. Moreover, she commended the industry for its well-balanced representation, noting an equal presence of men and women in Indian productions.

Bhumi’s decision is deeply tied to her strong bond with Indian culture and the captivating tales she gets involved in. She firmly believes that Indian narratives possess the ability to reshape perspectives and foster a sense of unity among people. “If storytelling can reshape perspectives and bring us closer, then we hold immense power,” she stated, expressing her gratitude for being able to contribute to this transformative change within her own country.

Bhumi’s decisions and professional journey clearly demonstrate her conviction in the power of Indian stories and the artistic liberty she experiences within India.

Starting this week on May 9th, The Royals will debut on Netflix’s streaming service. Bhumi takes on the role of a resolute CEO in this drama, who manages to secure a position within a struggling Indian royal family. Originally an outsider, her character proposes a strategic union with the prince, played by Ishaan Khatter, as a means to preserve the family’s heritage.

Additionally, the actress is working on another ambitious venture, titled “Daldal,” which is a television show focusing on a strong female combatant. Although filming concluded in 2024, the exact release date remains undisclosed.
