Madhuri Dixit's character in Kalank revealed

Starring Sanjay Dutt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kunal Khemu, Madhuri Dixit, Alia Bhatt and Sonakshi Sinha, the forthcoming period drama Kalank is one such multi-starrer that almost all Hindi film enthusiasts are waiting to see at the earliest. The film has just gone to the sets but the buzz around it is so tremendous as if it is releasing tomorrow.

One thing which is quite interesting to note here is that while the makers announced the big-ticket movie and its ensemble star cast with much fanfare, there has been no talk about the roles the actors play in it. But today, we got a little information about the character Madhuri Dixit will play in the film. According to reports, seasoned actress portrays a dance teacher in Kalank, who mentors the characters played by Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani.


"Madhuri, who is known for her dancing skills, will be seen playing mentor to Bhatt and Advani's characters. In fact, Advani is only making a cameo appearance in a special song. Madhuri is undergoing rigorous preparation for the role," a source reveals, adding, “Madhuri and Alia will start rehearsing for the dance number in a month's time."

Directed by Abhishek Verman, Kalank is produced by Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala. The film arrives in cinemas on 19th April, 2019.

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.
