Irrfan Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui to reteam

According to reports, National Film Award-winning actors Irrfan Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are set to join forces once again. The duo was last seen together in the Ritesh Batra-directed The Lunchbox (2013), which went on to win several national and international awards. Irrfan and Nawazuddin will reportedly come together to headline Honey Trehan’s upcoming thriller.

Sharing more details, a source close to the development reveals to an Indian tabloid, “Honey was supposed to direct Irrfan and Deepika Padukone for his directorial debut. When the project did not materialise, he joined forces with Nawazuddin for the crime thriller, Raat Akeli Hai. Now that the movie is wrapped up, the casting agent-turned-director has trained his focus on his next, an intense thriller with two male protagonists. Given the character sketch of the protagonists and the subject, he feels that Irrfan and Nawaz fit the bill perfectly.”

The source goes on to add that Honey has discussed the premise of the film with both the actors and they have agreed to come onboard. The filmmaker has begun the pre-production, but the schedule will be chalked out after taking Irrfan’s health into consideration. Further details will be worked out by next month.

Meanwhile, Irrfan Khan is currently busy shooting for Maddock Films’ Angrezi Medium, which is a sequel to his 2017 film Hindi Medium. The sequel also stars Radhika Madan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in lead roles. It is currently being shot in London.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, on the other hand, is gearing up to begin work on his next film, Bole Chudiyan. To be directed by his younger brother Shamas Siddiqui, the movie stars Tamannaah as the female lead.

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.
