Aamir Khan returns to bankroll Gulshan Kumar’s biopic Mogul?

Bollywood film Mogul, which is a biopic on late music baron Gulshan Kumar, has been one of the most-talked-about projects in recent years. The biopic was officially announced in 2017. Akshay Kumar was set to topline the high-profile project.

However, the superstar bowed out of the film months before it was set to begin production. After Kumar exited the movie, Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan was rumoured to be coming onboard not only as the co-producer of the film but also to play the lead role in it.


Later, the Dangal (2016) actor also walked out of the project after its director Subhash Kapoor was dragged into the MeToo movement. Since Subhash Kapoor has been cleared of any sexual misconduct, Khan is rumoured to be returning to the project.

T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar confirmed the news to an Indian daily but refused to say whether Khan would also star in the film as well as produce it.

“I can’t say anything about it right now. Now, I am very comfortable about it because I know the film is happening and with the best person who looks (laughs) like my father. There is no ambiguity in that. So, I am very happy about that,” said Bhushan Kumar.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
