Janhvi Kapoor starts prep for period drama Takht

Newcomer Janhvi Kapoor, who made her smashing acting debut with Shashank Khaitan’s Dhadak (2018), will next be seen in Karan Johar’s much-talked-about directorial Takht.

Takht is a period drama which revolves around a high-profile Mughal dynasty. Its cast also features actors including Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Anil Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.


The latest we hear that Janhvi Kapoor has started preparing for her role in the movie. Since the film requires her to mouth her dialogues in chaste Hindi and Urdu and also dance on some classical numbers, the actress has started prep much in advance.

According to a source, Kapoor is practising her dance moves and dialogues for three hours daily. She is busy attending an extensive training session in a Mumbai studio in order to perfect her part.

“Janhvi reaches the Kent Star studio for rehearsals around 11 am and is busy there until 2 pm. She leaves the studio after about three hours. Janhvi is rehearsing for her second film, Takht. She comes to this studio on a daily basis. She rehearses on the third floor… for dance may be. We are not allowed to go inside the rehearsal room, but whatever it is, she practices for almost three hours. Sweating it out for three hours, her next film will also bring positive results at the box office for sure,” reveals the source.

Set to go on floors early next year, Takht is slated to release on Christmas 2020.

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.
