Rani Mukerji to begin filming Mardaani 2 in March

With her powerful performance as daredevil Senior Inspector Shivani Shivaji Roy in the 2014 film Mardaani, Rani Mukerji impressed critics and audiences alike. After five years down the line, the talented actress is set to reprise the same role once again in Mardaani 2, a sequel to the superhit film.

According to sources, Mardaani 2 is set to mount the shooting floor on March 18 in Mumbai and Rani is quite psyched up about starting the shoot.


"Mardaani 2 shoot starts in Mumbai in March and this will be a short schedule. Rani is raring to go and it will be quite thrilling to see her back in action as Shivani Shivaji Roy. She is taking on a 21-year-old villain who knows no mercy or empathy," a source close to the project divulges.

Talking about the lead villain in the film, the makers have finalized a young actor for the role. "The makers have zeroed in on a young boy who will take on Rani in this much-awaited sequel," a source had informed earlier.

Bankrolled by Aditya Chopra and directed by Gopi Puthran, Mardaani 2 is expected to hit the marquee towards the end of the year.

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.
