Ishaan Khatter’s Show Just Lost Another Director and We’re Concerned
- The drama behind Ishaan Khatter’s new show
- Why directors keep leaving the set
- The beautiful Rajasthan aesthetic at risk
We just saw the report about Ishaan Khatter’s upcoming show, The Royals. It feels like a bit of a mess. Chaos. Pure chaos. That is the only way to describe what is happening behind the scenes right now.
The show just got its third director. Yes, you read that right. Three people have tried to lead this project so far. Two filmmakers already walked away from the job. This is all happening while they are trying to film in Rajasthan.
Think about the colors of that location. We were expecting bright oranges and deep, royal yellows. The aesthetic should be stunning. But right now, the vibe feels very shaky. It is hard to keep a visual style consistent when the person in charge keeps changing.
This happened only a few weeks after the cameras started rolling. If you think this is wild, remember when Manoj Bajpayee thought the Tiger Shroff incident was scary. Honestly, we agree with him. Some things in this industry are just unpredictable.
We wonder if there are creative fights happening. Sometimes people just don’t see eye to eye. It reminds us of how David Krumholtz missed that big 10 Things reunion recently. Sometimes the timing or the mood is just off.
Making a show is hard work. Even when people have a long history, things get weird. For instance, did you know Jane Seymour and Joe Lando had a secret romance? Professional sets are full of surprises, but three directors is a lot of surprises.
Our Take
We love Ishaan Khatter. He has such a fresh energy on screen. We really hope this new director sticks around. Rajasthan is too beautiful of a place to waste on a project that can’t find its feet. A show needs a steady hand to look its best. We are crossing our fingers for them.
