Kiara Advani joins the cast of Karan Johar's next!

After roping in Masaan fame actor Vicky Kaushal to play the male lead in his next film, Dharma Productions' head honcho Karan Johar has now signed Kiara Advani for the female part.

Kaira rose to instant fame after playing the role of Sakshi Dhoni in the film MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, a biopic on one of India's most successful cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.


Apart from Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani, Karan Johar's close friend Neha Dhupia will also essay an important role in the movie.

For the uninitiated, Karan's next is going to be a collection of four short stories and the filmmaker will helm one of them. The anthology film and a sequel to the 2013 film Bombay Talkies.

Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee will helm three other stories in the sequel. Each story will have a runtime of approximately 30 minutes long.

Unlike Bombay Talkies, the part which Karan will direct is going to be full of comedy. This will be the first time Vicky and Karan will try their hand at comedy.

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.
