YRF plans to cast Vaani Kapoor opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Shamshera

Looks like Vaani Kapoor has become a Yash Raj Films' favourite. At least, the way she is being considered for every second film of the banner suggests so. We all know that YRF is known for signing a three-film deal with every new face it launches into movies.

YRF find Vaani has already done two films with the premier production house - Maneesh Sharma's Shuddh Desi Romance and Aditya Chopra’s Befikre. The third film that the actress is doing with YRF still remains to be untitled, but it stars Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff as male leads.


The latest we hear that Kapoor is being considered for another film with Yash Raj Films. The movie in question is Karan Malhotra's upcoming directorial Shamshera, which was announced with much fanfare lately. The movie features Ranbir Kapoor and superstar Sanjay Dutt in lead roles.

Speculations are rife that Vaani Kapoor, who was last seen in Befikre alongside Ranveer Singh, may be seen as the female lead in Shamshera opposite Ranbir. An official confirmation is expected to come out soon.

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.
