Diljit Dosanjh-Taapsee Pannu's Soorma postponed

The makers of the forthcoming sports biopic Soorma, which features Diljit Dosanjh and Taapsee Pannu in pivotal roles, have moved its release date from June 29 to July 13 to avoid the box-office clash with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani's next Sanju, starring Ranbir Kapoor in the role of Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt.

The Shaad Ali directorial Soorma will now lock horns with Prernaa Arora and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's much-anticipated film, Fanne Khan, which is headlined by Anil Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Directed by Atul Manjrekar, Fanne Khan was earlier scheduled to release alongside Salman Khan's Race 3. However, the makers decided to shift their date to July 13 to save their film from the clash with Race 3.


With Soorma and Fanne Khan now set to release on the same date, a big box-office battle cannot be ruled out. Both films are highly awaited by film enthusiasts as they star some of the amazing actors in them. So, it will be interesting to see which film races ahead in terms of collections at the cash counter.

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.
