Kaytranada to bring his Grammy-winning groove to Mumbai this December
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to get a serious ‘Kay-tra’ dose of rhythm. Grammy-winning producer and DJ Kaytranada is set to make his long-awaited India debut, with District by Zomato announcing a one-night-only performance on 14 December 2025 at the NSCI Dome. The show is produced and exclusively ticketed by District, with HSBC India as the banking partner.
The Haitian-born, Montreal-raised artist, born Louis Kevin Celestin, has risen from viral bedroom remixer to one of the most influential electronic producers of the last decade. His breakout unofficial remix of Janet Jackson’s If put him on the global map, but it was his debut album 99.9 per cent that made critics sit up, earning him the Polaris Music Prize and a Juno Award.
His follow-up album BUBBA (2019) cemented his legacy, debuting at no. 1 on Billboard’s Electronic Albums chart and winning him two Grammy Awards: Best Dance/Electronic Album and Best Dance Recording for the hit track 10 per cent featuring Kali Uchis.
Along the way, Kaytranada has collaborated with some of music’s most distinctive voices, from Her and The Weeknd to Aminé, with whom he released the widely praised Kaytraminé album in 2023. Known for his unmistakable blend of hip-hop, house, funk and soul, his live sets are considered some of the most immersive and groove-heavy performances in contemporary music.
District by Zomato CEO Rahul Ganjoo said India is ready for global headliners of Kaytranada’s scale. “India’s appetite for world-class live experiences is growing. We’re bridging the gap between what happens in New York, London or Montreal and what happens in Mumbai, making India an essential stop on the global live music circuit.”
District by Zomato, the platform behind the show, is rapidly redefining how fans discover, book and experience live entertainment, from intuitive ticketing and personalised recommendations to curated on-ground experiences.
Fans can now add the event to their ‘Hotlist’ on the District app, where general tickets are already live. Details on the schedule and further updates will be posted on District’s social media channels.

Prime Video and Hrithik Roshan reunite for quirky heist comedy Mess
HRX Films expands pact with quirky heist comedy set for production
MUMBAI: Prime Video is doubling down on its partnership with Hrithik Roshan, announcing a new comedy film Mess that promises chaos, chuckles and a clever twist on the classic heist.
Produced by Hrithik Roshan and Eshaan Roshan under HRX Films, a division of FilmKraft Productions, the film is being made in association with Soda Films Lab. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, Mess marks the second collaboration between the streaming platform and HRX Films after the upcoming thriller Storm.
At the heart of Mess lies an unusual premise. A group of robbers break into the home of a man with OCD, only to find themselves outmatched in a night-long standoff that flips the script on who is really in control. It is a set-up that blends tension with humour, turning a break-in into a breakdown of expectations.
Prime Video India director and head of originals Nikhil Madhok said, “A good story should surprise and entertain, and Mess does both with ease. It brings together a unique premise, memorable characters and a tone that keeps you laughing throughout.”
He added that the collaboration with HRX Films continues to grow stronger, with the new film reflecting a shared appetite for bold and original storytelling.
Hrithik Roshan said, “After Storm, Mess feels like a natural next step in our journey with Prime Video. The film captures the kind of unconventional storytelling we want to champion, with Rajesh bringing a distinctive voice to the narrative.”
Director Rajesh A Krishnan said, “The world of Mess is a mix of comedy and chaos, unusual enough to keep audiences on edge while still delivering humour. It has been a deeply collaborative and creatively fulfilling experience.”
The original screenplay comes from Paul Soter, with adaptation and dialogues by Kapil Sawant, adding another layer of craft to the film’s offbeat narrative.
As production gears up, Mess looks ready to live up to its name, serving up a delightful tangle of mayhem, mischief and movie magic for audiences in India and beyond.
