Shruti Haasan says she always gets better roles down South

Shruti Haasan made her debut with 2009 release Luck. The film failed to make a mark at the box office, but Shruti impressed everyone with her performance in it.

The actress has been working in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu films. However, Shruti has done more films down South. Her last Hindi film was Yaara which got a direct-to-digital release on Zee5 a couple of months ago.


Recently, while talking to Mumbai Mirror, the actress revealed that she gets better roles down South. Shruti said, “It’s about balancing Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi films and I always get better roles down South.”

Currently, Shruti has one Bollywood film which is Mahesh Manjrekar’s directorial Power. She will be seen opposite Vidyut Jammwal in the movie, and the shooting of the film was wrapped up last year in December.

While talking about the movie, Shruti told the tabloid, “I love Mahesh’s work, and working with him was memorable. You will even see me do some action in this film too.”

Apart from Power, the actress has two films down South, Krack (Telugu), and Laabam (Tamil). Talking about both the films, the actress said, “Krack is a commercial film but the arc of my character is really interesting. In Laabam, the woman has a very prominent voice. I will be shooting non-stop for the next couple of months to wrap up these two films.”

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.
