Varun arrests attention with the first look poster of October

There is no denying the fact that within a very short span of time Varun Dhawan has established himself as one of the most sought-after actors that we have today in Bollywood. Since the time he made his acting debut with Karan Johar's college romance drama, Student Of The Year in 2012, he has not delivered a single unsuccessful film.

The audience just loves to see Varun on screen. Last seen in his father David Dhawan's blockbuster comic-caper, Judwaa 2, Junior Dhawan is now gearing up for the release of his next movie, October. Today, the makers of the hotly anticipated movie unveiled its first look poster which inflamed the internet within hours of going online.


In the first look poster of October, we can see Varun lost in the world of his own. The poster has generated a massive response from the audience. Now it remains to be seen if this rousing response translates into footfall on 13th April when the movie releases in theatres.

Produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, October also stars Banita Sandhu in the lead role. It is a Shoojit Sircar directorial.

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.
