The Hindi remake of Telugu film Arjun Reddy (2017), which is being toplined by Shahid Kapoor, now has a release date. T-Series, the banner bankrolling the Hindi remake, took to Twitter to announce the release date. The movie will make its entry into cinemas on June 21, 2019.

The original film, which follows the journey of a surgeon who turns into a heavy drinker and a drug-addict after his girlfriend marries someone else, was highly appreciated for its storyline, direction and performances. Made on a small budget, it broke a series of records and ran for several weeks at the box-office.


Shahid Kapoor has been roped in to play the lead role which was portrayed in the original by Vijay Deverakonda. Talking about the female lead, reports suggest that Tara Sutaria, who makes her big screen debut with Dharma Productions’ Student Of The Year 2, has been cast.

The Hindi remake will be directed by Sandeep Vanga, who also directed the original film. It will be a joint venture among Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar and Ashwin Varde.

The film is set to mount the shooting floor in August 2018. Besides Hindi, Arjun Reddy is also being remade in Tamil, titled Varma.

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.
