Ishan Khatter’s latest venture, ‘The Royals’ has been garnering people’s love and affection and has become one of the most talked about series in recent times. Ishan’s portrayal of Prince Aviraj has made buzz all around but the most talked about thing from the series is the chiseled physique of Khatter that he has shown off in the series.
After numerous shirtless photos of Khatter have rocked the internet, the director of the series, Priyanka Ghose has addressed the talk of the town. Ghose said that the scenes of him shirtless were part of the script all along and were not added later. She also stated how the actor was also very conscious about it and they had discussions around whether they were overdoing it or not but she personally never felt that they were overdoing it.
“Also, Ishaan is a very aware and intelligent actor and wouldn’t have agreed to take his shirt off at the drop of a hat. He is always very conscious of that, and there were times when he even discussed if we were overdoing it,” Priyanka said.
Ishan Khatter on the other end has also recognised the love that he has been getting for his work in the Netflix series. He took to his Instagram and posted several photos from the behind the scenes of the shooting of the film and wrote a heartfelt message in the caption appreciating the love that he has been showered with.
The post read, “I’ve been seeing your messages, letters, essays even!! It’s insane and makes me wanna reach through the screen and give you all a hug. Thank you for the overwhelming love, really. It means the world and fuels the fire. Leaving you with a BTS dump. Slide two is evidence I was trying to put on a shirt as often as I could, no joke, efforts were thwarted of course.”
The Royals which was released on Netflix on May 9th has gained popularity amidst netizens. The film revolves around the dynamic of the worlds of a royalty and startup founder colliding with each other and the whirlwind of emotions that follow next. Bhumi Pednekar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Sakshi Tanwar, Dino Morea and Zeenat Aman are some of the notable members of the cast.
