Karan Johar announces Brahmastra, a trilogy with Ranbir, Alia and Big B!

After announcing a period film called Kesari, with superstar Akshay Kumar on Tuesday, acclaimed Hindi filmmaker Karan Johar announced another mega-budgeted film on Wednesday. Titled Brahmastra, the movie will be a trilogy featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. Earlier titled Dragon, Brahmastra is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on August 15, 2019.

Ayan Mukerji, who will direct the film, has been planning for the movie for a long time now. The news of him joining hands with Ranbir Kapoor again after the smashing success of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani first hit the headlines in 2015. But due to one reason or the other, the project was never announced officially. It was when Alia Bhatt joined the star cast of the film last year that fans thought the film is back on track.


And now, Dharma Productions’ head honcho Karan Johar has revealed the title of the fantasy film along with its leading cast. The seasoned filmmaker took to Twitter to announce the mega project. The first part of the trilogy will hit the screens next year.

Ranbir Kapoor has already started preparing for the film. He is currently undergoing training in horse-riding and gymnastics for the movie. Karan Johar will co-produce the film along with Fox Star Studios and Namit Malhotra.

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.
