Mumbai, May 1, 2025: Sony SAB’s ‘Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey’ continues to win hearts with its relatable middle-class struggles and heartwarming family moments. In recent episodes, Kiara (Anju Jadhav) experiments with an AI app to create her “dream man” — only to be shocked when the app generates the face of Rajesh Wagle (Sumeet Raghavan). Though she quietly saves the image, Rajesh accidentally stumbles upon it, sparking his confusion and panic. Things take a comical turn when Kiara unexpectedly spots Rajesh at a café during work hours, prompting him to lie about the man she saw being his lookalike, a Tamilian named Venkat Swami Raju.

In upcoming episodes, as the situation spirals as Dakku (Deepak Pareek) helps Rajesh transform into the fictional ‘Venkat’, complete with mannerisms and a convincing disguise. But trouble deepens when Kiara confides in Vandana (Pariva Pranati), revealing that she once saw Rajesh as her ideal match, but now believes Venkat is her true soulmate. Unaware of the truth, she even plans to propose to him. Things get further complicated when Vandana expresses her desire to meet this mysterious lookalike and invites him home to meet the Wagle family.

How will Rajesh handle this tangled mess? Can he be both Rajesh and Raju at once — especially when both are expected to appear at the same time? The upcoming episodes promise a fun, quirky ride filled with mistaken identities, chaos, and classic Wagle-style humour.

Sumeet Raghvan, who essays the role of Rajesh Wagle, said, “Honestly, the Venkat Swami Raju track has been such a riot! Imagine Rajesh who is always so proper now pretending to be a Tamilian person. Not many know this, but I’m Tamilian in real life, so slipping into Venkat Swamy Raju’s skin felt easy, nostalgic and entertaining. Rajesh trying to hold this lie together while everything spirals, is classic Wagle chaos, and I think families are really going to enjoy watching it play out.”

New Delhi: FICCI celebrated World Intellectual Property (IP) Day in New Delhi with the theme “IP and Music: Feel the Beat of IP.” The aim of the event was to recognize India’s rapidly growing music industry and appreciate the contributions of artists, music companies, and platforms that are advancing the country’s creative sector. The event also addressed challenges faced by the music community.

Speaking on the occasion, singer Shibani Kashyap said, “I envision a future where royalties form a significant part of an artist’s income — ideally 50% from royalties and 50% from live shows — so that artists can gain both financial stability and due recognition.” The event began with renowned lyricist Javed Akhtar, who stated in his address that India has immense creative potential which needs proper direction and encouragement.

The panel discussion featured several notable figures including Atul Churamani, leading lawyer Priyanka Khimani, film director Mayur Puri, eminent IP lawyer Pravin Anand, Sanjay Tandon, and independent artist-singer-composer-live performer Shibani Kashyap. The panel shared insights on the role of Intellectual Property (IP) and the challenges artists face in the digital age.

Representing the Bollywood music industry at the FICCI World IP Day 2025, Shibani Kashyap emphasized the importance of Intellectual Property in the creative world. She said, “As an artist, I believe it is vital to connect fellow musicians with organizations like IPRS, which can protect their work and ensure income. Royalties can provide artists with financial security, much like a fixed deposit, along with rightful credit for their creations.”

India, 30th April 2025– Critically acclaimed Indian musical innovator Badshah, via his avant-garde imprint Pentertainment 0075, unleashes new era in hypnotic synth-pop stunner ‘Galiyon Ke Ghalib,’ a standout track from his profoundly intimate and sonically expansive five-track EP, ‘Fitoor.’ 

The release marks a watershed moment in Badshah‘s artistic evolution as he not only delivers a relentlessly infectious anthem characterized by incisive lyrical storytelling, street sensibility and dynamic production, but also unveils his dynamic dance skills for the first time in the song’s catchy music video, showcasing his signature swagger and effortless flow.

The meticulously constructed sonic journey of ‘Fitoor’ reaches its zenith with ‘Galiyon Ke Ghalib,’ a track that exemplifies Badshah‘s brilliance in crafting dance floor anthems. The accompanying music video amplifies this auditory experience, radiating raw, unbridled energy as it spotlights Badshah‘s dynamic solo dance debut, bringing his signature swagger to life through movement and rhythm.

Badshah shares, “‘Fitoor’ represents a pivotal moment in my artistic journey, a profound exploration of self and sound where I’ve shed the constraints of expectation to embrace creative autonomy. ‘Galiyon Ke Ghalib‘ is a testament to this metamorphosis, a track that embodies the raw experimental energy I’ve always strived for, fueled by a primal love for hip-hop and the kaleidoscopic culture that has shaped and defined my unique creative expression. It’s an unapologetic expression of my artistry, and I hope will resonate with listeners on a visceral level. This is Badshah, unfiltered and unbound.”

‘Fitoor,’ meaning passion or obsession, transcends the typical EP format; it is Badshah‘s deeply personal musical bildungsroman, a revealing letter to his past, present and future selves that highlights his multifaceted talents as a singer-songwriter, rapper, and visionary record producer. Designed to resonate globally, ‘Fitoor’ is a meticulously composed artistic statement that blends evocative storytelling with cutting-edge sonic textures and visionary visuals. Through innovative, genre-bending arrangements and groundbreaking production techniques, Badshah aspires to elevate Desi Hip-Hop onto the global stage, pushing its sonic and thematic frontiers while remaining deeply committed to its essential spirit. The EP invites listeners to embark on an immersive journey through Badshah‘s personal odyssey, witnessing the birth of a bold new artistic paradigm.

The EP’s narrative tapestry begins with ‘Dear Aditya,’ a profoundly poignant overture that establishes the deeply personal themes explored throughout. This raw and emotionally resonant track unfolds as an intimate epistolary address to Badshah‘s younger self, Aditya Prateek Sisodia, offering an unvarnished glimpse into his formative years and the trials that shaped him. ‘Dear Aditya’ is a cri de coeur, grappling with ambition, resilience, and the paradoxes inherent in artistic greatness, enhanced by a visually arresting music video that interweaves past and present to create an atmosphere of reflection and emotional catharsis.

In stark contrast, ‘Blessed’ emerges as a vibrant and sophisticated paean, a dynamic testament to gratitude intertwined with a declaration of personal triumph. Introspective reflection meets infectious rhythms as Badshah acknowledges the blessings that propelled his ascent to the zenith of the Indian music industry. His signature verbal virtuosity is meticulously arranged atop pulsating rhythms and cutting-edge sonic textures, celebrating his triumphs and affirming his stature as a dominant creative force, complemented by visuals filmed amidst Nepal’s serene landscapes.

‘Velvet Flow’ boldly departs from the emotionally charged tones of its predecessors, asserting itself as a seductive yet authentic declaration of hip-hop pride. Seamlessly blending Badshah‘s distinctive rap with the alluring undertones of contemporary R&B, it reveals the raw essence of the genre. Replete with unapologetically bold lyrics, ‘Velvet Flow’ showcases Badshah at his most unfiltered, diving headfirst into themes of dominance and unwavering self-assurance, amplified by a music video touching upon success and the unapologetic enjoyment of life lived to the fullest.

‘Fitoor’ is Badshah unleashed—unfiltered, uninhibited, and unapologetically authentic. This EP marks a transformative moment in his career, inviting listeners from every corner of the globe to embark on a shared journey of self-discovery and sonic exploration, cementing his place as one of South Asia’s most powerful cultural exports.
