Indian rapper and performer Hanumankind is set to represent homegrown talent at Netflix’s international fan event, Tudum 2025. The show will be streamed live from Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on 31 May, with another headline act by Lady Gaga. Hanumankind, born Sooraj Cherukat and based in Bangalore, will perform his popular track Run It Up, which was also featured in the event’s official trailer.

Though the spotlight is global, his journey has been rooted in India’s indie music scene. Starting out with his debut EP Kalari in 2019 and performances at festivals like NH7 Weekender, Hanumankind built a solid reputation before gaining mainstream recognition. The name itself, a mix of ‘Hanuman’ and ‘mankind’, reflects his personal values of strength, loyalty, and purpose.


In 2024, he made headlines for performing at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in New York. That same year, he dropped Big Dawgs with Kalmi, filmed in Malappuram, Kerala, featuring him performing inside the “well of death” motorcycle stunt cage.

This isn’t his first association with Netflix either. His track The Game Don’t Stop featured in the second season of Squid Game. Now, with the third season of Squid Game and other big titles like Frankenstein, One Piece, Wednesday, and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery set to be previewed at Tudum, Hanumankind will add his unique South Indian rhythm to the international stage.

Earlier this year, he also made his debut at Coachella, becoming one of the few Indian artists to perform on such a global platform. Speaking about that experience, he said music is part of everyday life, it travels with people, connects cultures, and speaks its own language.


For Indian viewers, Tudum will stream live at 5:30 AM IST on 1 June. Despite the early hour, fans will likely tune in to watch Hanumankind take centre stage, another step in a journey that’s been all about pushing boundaries and staying true to one’s roots.

Priyanka Chopra says she nearly lost her eye while filming action scene in 'Heads of State'

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has opened up about a minor but shocking accident that occurred while filming her new action-comedy Heads of State, which premieres on Prime Video on 2 July. Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor recalled how she injured her face during a high-intensity scene, losing a piece of her eyebrow in the process.

The incident took place during a rainy stunt scene that required her to fall and roll on the ground as the camera closed in. “The camera operator came in a little closer, I came in a little closer, and boom! The matte box hit me right here,” she said, pointing to her eyebrow. “It took out a chunk. I was lucky it didn’t take my eye.”
