Raghava Lawrence steps down as the director of Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb

It was a few days ago when Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmmi Bomb went on the floors. The film is a remake of Tamil film Kanchana and was being directed by Raghava Lawrence who had also helmed the original movie. It was yesterday when the makers released the first look poster of the film and announced the release date. And now, Lawrence has decided to step down as the director of the film.

Along with a note, he tweeted, “Dear Friends and Fans..! In this world, more than money and fame, self-respect is the most important attribute to a person's character. So I have decided to step out of the project,  #Laxmmibomb Hindi remake of Kanchana @akshaykumar @RowdyGabbar @Advani_Kiara.”


In the note, Lawrence has written that there are many reasons behind his decision and one of the reasons is that the first look poster was released without him being informed. However, Lawrence is ready to give the script of the film to Akshay so they can make it with some other director.

Laxmmi Bomb is slated to hit the screens on 5th June 2020. Now let’s see which director will replace Lawrence in the film.

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.
