J-Hope and AR Rahman collab loading? BTS star seen vibing to Rahman's song with Pharrell Williams at Paris Fashion Week
We have seen some crazy collabs and crossovers in the past year, such as Chris Martin giving a shout-out to Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah, Ed Sheeran and Shah Rukh Khan headbanging to the former's song or Arijit Singh performing with DJ Martin Garrix. Recently, composer AR Rahman and Pharrell Williams debuted their track 'Yaara Punjabi' during the Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Week. The song garnered even more attention because K-Pop artiste and BTS member J-Hope was seen vibing to its beats from the front row of the show.
A post shared by ARR (@arrahman)
J-Hope, who just returned from military duty along with the rest of the members of the band, was seen attending the show alongside other stalwarts of the entertainment industry, such as Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Future, Spike Lee and more. While most heads were banging along to the 'Punjabi-Gospel' tune created by two of the most innovative composers of the last thirty years, J-Hope vibing along to Punjabi lyrics was definitely not something people expected. Fans of the star and the band flooded the comment section of the video shared by Rahman, asking for a collab between the two.

One user commented, 'Hobi (J-Hope) vibing to AR Rahman! Nice,' while another user on X wrote, 'If there is one Indian artist that I want BTS to collab with, it is AR Rahman. He is a musical genius. He's the only one I'd love to see a collab with.' Fans have already expressed exactly what they want, and with the amount of crossovers that have happened over the past year, there is a chance that BTS and Rahman might give fans what they want. Rahman definitely seems to be in agreement with the fans, as he even posted an article about J-Hope vibing to his song.
With a successful event in the bag, where he debuted a new international track, met greats like Spike Lee, and hung out with Pharrell, the BTS collab can be the next chapter for AR Rahman, and it might help the pop group get back in fighting form after their hiatus from music.

BTS' Jungkook's funny caricature of Jimin on Vietnam vacation has J-Hope losing it, fans want duo to ‘never change'
BTS' Jimin and Jungkook are inseparable. After enlisting in the military together under the buddy system and spending their time in service at the same base, the two have seemingly gone on a vacation around the world before reuniting with fellow bandmates. A new update from Jimin shows how the two are passing time, drawing each other, and basically being in their element, letting go of any worries. Jungkook's latest caricature of his hyung has bemused everyone, but especially J-Hope, who dropped an unending amount of laughing emojis on his post within minutes of the singer's update. Jimin 'came home' to his fans on June 26, with a new post on his scarcely updated Instagram account. Captioned 'Jay Kay', a nickname for fellow BTS member Jungkook, the photo showed a drawing made by the Still With You singer for his older friend. In the photo, the Promise singer appeared to be concentrating on something very hard, with wrinkles forming on his forehead and a post-military swollen face taking up most of the screen. Little hair and his signature plump lips affirmed the fans' belief that it was none other than Jimin in the drawing. The BTS ARMY hilariously reacted to the stars' exchange on social media, praising their camaraderie. Jimin, Jungkook and RM's vacations after completing military service Known for his artistry, Jungkook, who is said to be on vacation with him, penned the caricature, capturing the most important bits of his bandmate. The two were previously said to be in Switzerland, where fellow member RM went for a talk at the 2025 Art Basel. Following this, onlookers reported that the duo had moved to Vietnam for a private, quiet trip alongside limited BIGHIT MUSIC personnel for a relaxing time. It is also rumored that the two are filming content on their trip, believed to be the second season of their travel variety show, Are You Sure? Fans are also speculating that the Indigo star would be joining them this time around, with filming staff being spotted on their journey.

The Sardaar Ji 3 controversy intensifies as Guru Randhawa's cryptic social media posts spark speculation of subtle jabs at Diljit Dosanjh. These remarks, addressing loyalty and PR tactics, coincide with backlash over the film's casting and overseas release. Diljit Dosanjh has clarified the filming timeline and supports the producer's decision due to unforeseen circumstances. The controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3 continues to heat up, with public attention now turning to singer Guru Randhawa 's cryptic social media posts that many believe are subtle jabs at Diljit Dosanjh . As backlash brews over the film's casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir and its overseas release strategy, Guru's pointed remarks about loyalty, PR tactics, and national pride have only intensified speculation—adding a fresh layer of drama to an already tense situation. Amid the escalating backlash, singer Guru Randhawa posted a series of cryptic tweets on X (formerly Twitter), which many believe are subtle digs at Diljit Dosanjh. Though he didn't name anyone directly, the timing and pointed tone of his messages have fueled speculation and stirred public curiosity. Check out the post here: On Wednesday, he wrote, 'When the PR team is more talented than the talent itself, controversies become part of the daily routine. The day is near when our people will open their eyes and know the truth. LOL. 1st of every month, dropping bombs. God bless the fake PR and the artists." Poll Do you think controversies help boost a film's popularity? Yes, they create buzz No, they can harm the film's reputation In a follow-up post on Thursday, Guru tweeted in Punjabi, 'Lakh pardesi hoyieee. Apna desh nhi bhandi daa. Jehre mulk da khayie, us da bura nhi mangi da," which loosely translates to: 'Even if one becomes a complete foreigner, one must never betray their own country. One should never wish ill upon the land that provides for them." Check out the post here: He added, 'Even if now your citizenship is not Indian but you were born here, please remember this. This country made great artists, and we all are proud of it. Please be proud of where you were born. Just an advice. Now don't start controversy again and manipulate Indians LOL. PR is bigger than the artist." While Guru's posts remain open to interpretation, fans and netizens were quick to connect the dots—linking his cryptic remarks to the ongoing Sardaar Ji 3 controversy. The timing, coupled with the tone of his tweets, only added fuel to the speculation. Diljit Dosanjh addressed the controversy in a recent interview with BBC Asian Network, clarifying that Sardaar Ji 3 was filmed in February, before tensions escalated. He explained that unforeseen events occurred later, leading producers to opt for an overseas release. 'The producers have invested a lot of money,' he added, noting that the film was never intended for an India release under the current circumstances. Diljit clarified that the situation was normal at the time he signed the film and the team had no way of predicting the events that followed. He expressed his support for the producers' decision to release Sardaar Ji 3 overseas, acknowledging that the current circumstances are beyond their control. Sardaar Ji 3 is now scheduled for an overseas-only release on June 27, 2025.
