Indian Racing League announces complete team line-ups for the 2025 season through a first-of-its-kind driver draft featuring 24 drivers across six franchises, including international champions, Indian talents, and women racers.

 The 2025 season of the Indian Racing Festival (IRF) added another significant milestone to its journey today, with the first-ever official Driver Draft for the Indian Racing League (IRL). Hosted at the iconic Taj Lands End in Mumbai, the event brought together franchise owners, league officials, and media to mark the formal beginning of a season that promises high-stakes competition, global talent, and deeper fan engagement. The event was designed to introduce greater structure and transparency to the process of building teams – a first for Indian motorsport and to reiterate IRF’s  vision of creating a league that is both inclusive and performance-driven.

 In a thrilling session earlier in the evening, 24 drivers were selected across six city-based franchises for the upcoming IRL season. Each team picked four drivers, creating a balanced and competitive lineup that includes an experienced international driver, an emerging international or Indian-origin talent, a domestic Indian driver, and a female driver. The selection was not only symbolic  but also strategic, with teams building their rosters around driving styles, track experience, and data-backed performance indicators.

 The final grid features accomplished names like Neel Jani - former Formula 1 test driver and Le Mans winner, Jon Lancaster - with a background in GP2 and endurance racing,  and Raoul Hyman - a two-time IRL champion of Indian origin who returns with strong fan support. On the Indian side, young talents such as Ruhaan Alva, Sohil Shah, Sai Sanjay, & Akshay Bohra bring proven speed and sharp racecraft, while female racers like Fabienne Wohlwend,Gabriela Jilkova, and Caitlin Wood round out the grid with international experience across W Series, F3, and GT formats.

 The draft was followed by a joint press conference where all six team owners including public figures from Indian cinema and sport took the stage to reveal their teams and discuss their vision for the league. Team owners & key personnel from the franchises were present during the event, as teams finalised upon their picks. Each owner, along with their technical teams, worked closely to build a roster tailored to both competitive goals & regional identity. This high-engagement approach signals a new level of dedication and investment from franchise owners, not only in the sport but in shaping the narrative around their teams.

 “This brings our collective vision to life when it comes to the Indian Racing Festival 2025,” said Mr. Akhilesh Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director of Racing Promotions Pvt. Ltd. (RPPL), the organisation behind IRF. “With this driver draft, we’re building a new foundation for motorsport in India – one that’s inclusive, structured, and deeply competitive. The Driver Draft for IRL 2025 celebrates talent, promotes competence, and builds serious anticipation for the racing season. What we’re doing here is building a sport for India, by India, with the world watching.”, he added.

 Each franchise from Delhi’s Speed Demons to the newest entrant, Kichcha’s Kings Bengaluru now heads into the season with a race-ready lineup. The 2025 season will begin in August and will feature races across multiple cities, including permanent circuits and urban street tracks throughout India.

 The evening concluded with an media interaction where the management, owners and the press engaged– a fitting end to a day that marked the beginning of a pivotal & memorable chapter in Indian motorsport.

14 July 2025, Mumbai – Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (Zee), a leading content and technology powerhouse, proudly announces the launch of ‘ Zee Writers Room ’.

Specially designed for writers who have developed through self-study or who already have a spark of creativity within themselves through formal education, Zee Writers Room welcomes talent who have shown their brilliance at college festivals , writing clubs or digital platforms but have not yet entered the industry. The initiative is not to teach the basics of writing , but to develop writers who have the potential into professional screenwriters , developing their skills in a disciplined manner.

It will be an idea-generation engine that will transform the seeds of ideas and concepts of 70 budding writers and 30 emerging experts into compelling new worlds, compelling characterizations and compelling storylines for Zee’s content for TV , OTT and film mediums. To register, visit:

 Renuka Shahane Gets Candid about Being Shah Rukh Khan’s First Heroine, Falling in Love with Ashutosh Rana over landline, and Why She Supports the ‘Speak Marathi’ Movement

 

Mumbai, India, July 2025 - Actress, director, and cultural icon Renuka Shahane recently appeared on the podcast ‘InControversial with Pooja Chaudhri’, opening up about her iconic beginnings, personal love story, and strong views on language, identity, and respect, offering an honest, heartfelt conversation that’s already sparking conversation online.

“Shah Rukh is the Kind of Professional Everybody Should Dream to Be”

While many know Shahane as Salman Khan’s beloved bhabhi in Hum Aapke Hain Koun, few remember that she also shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in his early television days.

You are the one who's recognized as being his first heroine on screen with Shah Rukh Khan back in Circus. And that's something that sort of stayed along with you,” the host noted.




Renuka recalled the experience fondly: “his attitude towards work, is absolutely fabulous. Actually, Shah Rukh is the kind of professional that everybody should dream to be…And second is his treatment of everybody on the set. He's such a gracious person. He makes no distinction between a spot person and a producer or a director, actor - nothing. His relationships on the set are on that equal level, when the star does that, the entire set feels invigorated.”


Love on a Landline: “We Fell in Love Over the Phone” – Renuka Shahane on husband Ashutosh Rana

Speaking about her relationship with acclaimed actor Ashutosh Rana, Shahane shared how the foundation of their romance was built on a strong friendship, deep conversations and mutual respect — not glitz and glamour.

“When I met Rana, I was really very, very taken by the fact that I could converse with him… We fell in love over the phone. That time we didn’t have, you know, kind of — it was landline and good old MTNL.”




Despite their contrasting personalities and cultural backgrounds, she adds,

“Even though we are like chalk and cheese… we were comfortable. It’s that feeling of finding a companion you want to spend the rest of your life with. And make a happy home with.”


On the ‘Speak Marathi’ Movement: “It’s About Respect”

As a proud Maharashtrian, Renuka Shahane also voiced her strong views on linguistic inclusivity and cultural respect, especially in Mumbai.


“If you are in a place for a very long time, it's a good thing to understand the local language, the local culture and be respectful more than anything else...

It's not about the speaking of it much more than the intention of wanting to, you know, respect it. I do not like people who do not feel the necessity to be accommodating of the local language and local culture.

I do not like violence at all, you know; I do not like the fact that people can be rude about it. Going into a place where Marathi is not spoken and just slapping two or three people, it's not going to help the language in any way.”
