Mohit Raina to play IPS officer in digital series Bhaukaal

Fresh from the thunderous success of his debut film Uri: The Surgical Strike (2018), which is still minting money at the cash counter, actor Mohit Raina has now signed a digital series, titled Bhaukaal, which means impressive and robust.

The series, which is being produced by Applause Entertainment, is inspired by the real-life achievements of IPS officer Navniet Sekera, who is known to have brought down the organized crime syndicates in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, in the early 2000s.


Actor and producer Harman Baweja is the creator and showrunner of the series. He has joined forces with director Jatin Wagle to helm the project. Besides Mohit Raina, Bhaukaal also features Bidita Bag, Rashmi Rajput, Abhimanyu Singh, Siddhanth Kapoor, Sunny Hinduja, Pradeep Nagar and Gulki Joshi in important roles.

Talking about his role in the digital series, Mohit Raina said, “Bhaukaal brings me a chance to play a brave police officer, one who brought change and broke through the age-old criminal and local political nexus.”

The actor went on to add, “I am happy and excited to play this character, under the expertise of veterans like Sameer Nair and the very passionate Harman Baweja.”

The series has already started rolling.

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.
