2024 for me started with acting in this insanely massively beautiful show with the juiciest ensemble ever,” she wrote.

The Royals has been directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana.

This puts yet another project on Sumukhi Suresh’s excellent record. She recently finished her run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where she was performing her latest critically acclaimed hour Hoemonal. Earlier this year, she signed up with Karan Johar’s Dharma Cornerstone Agency, and has also written the dialogues for Vikramaditya Motwane’s digital age thriller CTRL starring Ananya Panday.
