The director has strong opinions and never shies away from putting forward his point. Now after all the accomplishments the filmmaker has achieved this year, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri will now be attending the 10th South Indian International Movie Awards which is all set to take place in Bengaluru.


The South Indian International Movie Awards is scheduled to take place on 10–11 September 2022. The ceremony (10th SIIMA) recognizes and honours the best films and performances from the Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada films and music released in 2021, along with special honours for lifetime contributions and a few special awards.

A source from the industry says: "It is a great achievement for Vivek Agnihotri with his all-time blockbuster movie The Kashmir Files in the current scenario where almost every second movie is losing it at the BO. The film's grand success at the global BO with Rs. 350 Cr plus collection has made him a big independent filmmaker and as we all know, once you show the magic, all will welcome you showering love from all across."

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.
