Rumours were swirling around lately that Alia Bhatt may be heard crooning a song in her much-awaited Telugu film RRR, directed by celebrated Indian filmmaker SS Rajamouli. It has now emerged that the actress is set to shoot two songs for the mega-budgeted film with co-star Ram Charan.


A source in the know informs an online publication, “Alia has finished shooting for all her sequences in RRR, except for two songs with Ram Charan. She will be flying to Hyderabad in April to shoot for the remaining numbers. Alia will start prepping for them closer to the shooting date. These larger-than-life song sequences will feature Alia in a never seen before avatar.”

Bhatt, who plays the character of Sita in RRR, is currently busy wrapping up Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. The biographical drama based on a chapter of novelist Hussain Zaidi's book Mafia Queens of Mumbai about Gangubai Kothewali, the madam of a brothel in Kamathipura, features her in the titular role.

Buzz has it that the makers are all set to give audiences a glimpse into the world of Gangubai Kathiawadi with its teaser. The teaser is expected to be launched on director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s birthday tomorrow on 24th February.

After wrapping up Gangubai Kathiawadi, Alia Bhatt will start shooting for the pending portion of Dharma Productions’ Brahmastra, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, and Mouni Roy.

In April, she will jet off to Hyderabad to shoot for her songs in RRR. The high-profile film, which stars Ram Charan and Jr. NTR in lead roles, features Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in brief but important roles.

RRR has set October 13, 2021, for its theatrical release across the world. Initially, it was slated to hit screens on January 8, 2021, but had to be deferred due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

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.
