Ekta & Alankrita to team up again after Lipstick Under My Burkha

After impressing the audience and critics alike with their literally incredible film Lipstick Under My Burkha, producer Ekta Kapoor and filmmaker Alankrita Shrivastava are joining hands again for yet another woman-centric movie. The project is expected to roll by the end of the year.

Alankrita says that since Lipstick Under My Burkha did well, a reunion with Ekta seemed like a natural progression. “Lipstick… went so well and we had a great time working on it. So, a reunion seemed like a natural progression. Ekta has a lot of courage to take risks and she is the right person for the kind of films I make,” she explained.


Adding further, Alankrita reveals that her next film will be shot entirely in North India and is about two women in a coming-of-age story. “I’m still working on the screenplay, so I’d rather complete it before saying more on the subject. For now, I’m excited about exploring the lives of both protagonists and the roles women have in the changing India of today. The future is female, not just in India but the world over.”

Ekta Kapoor took to Twitter to share her excitement over teaming up with Alankrita Again. "Back at it again! Very excited to be taking this new journey with @alankrita601!

The casting process for the film is underway.

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.
