Anurag Basu’s anthology film locks date for theatrical release

Filmmaker Anurag Basu last helmed Jagga Jasoos (2017), featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. It has been close to two years since his fans have not seen his work on the silver screen.

Basu is currently working on his next film, which still remains untitled. Looking at the impressive star cast of the movie, we assume that the filmmaker is coming up with something really exciting.


The project is said to be an anthology drama, featuring Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkumar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra and Pankaj Tripathi in important characters.

Today, the makers announced the new release date of the film. Earlier scheduled to enter theatres on 6th September, the yet-to-be-titled film will now rock cinemas on 21st February, 2020.

Earlier, there were rumours that the movie is a sequel to Basu’s 2007 multi-starrer Life In A Metro. However, the filmmaker recently confirmed that apart from revolving around four different stories set in a quintessential Indian metro, there is no similarity between both the projects.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar and Tani Somarita Basu.

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.
