The playlist skipped the standard Bollywood rotation entirely.
Instead of spinning Hindi party anthems, Nick Jonas grabbed his brothers Joe and Kevin, hauled in their touring bandmates, and dropped an Instagram clip dancing to Sai Abhyankkar’s viral Tamil indie single "Radhimaa." The video racked up immediate traction across digital feeds, sparking a direct nod from the 20-year-old Chennai musician who composed, produced, and sang the track.
Sai jumped into Jonas’s comments with a blunt endorsement: “Brothaa” punctuated by a heart emoji.
Released on August 24, "Radhimaa" paired Sai with actor Bhagyashri Borse in its official music video, quickly dominating streaming algorithms across southern audio charts. Jonas’s endorsement handed the independent Tamil pop release a sudden burst of cross-continental visibility.
The viral choreography followed an intimate Diwali celebration at the Jonas-Chopra residence. Chopra documented the gathering on Instagram with candid family portraits, capturing Jonas in a white shimmery kurta while their daughter, Malti, twinned beside him in a matching white lehenga choli. Chopra opted for a heavily embroidered fish-cut lehenga.
Some camera roll favourites from this Diwali. Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali.
Yet behind the festive optics, Chopra’s production calendar is locking in major domestic milestones. Her production banner, Purple Pebble Pictures, formally confirmed development on Ventilator 2, reuniting the producer with writer-director Rajesh Mapuskar. The project serves as a direct follow-up to the 2016 Marathi family drama Ventilator, which swept three honours at the 64th National Film Awards. Production is targeting a 2027 theatrical release.
