MUMBAI,
India-
19
November,
2025:
Amazon
MX
Player’s
I-POPSTAR
has
quickly
grown
into
one
of
India’s
most
refreshing
and
culturally
defining
music
shows
of
the
year,
a
stage
built
entirely
on
original
tracks,
original
voices,
and
original
stories.
Over
the
past
weeks,
the
show
has
fuelled
a
genuine
indie-music
movement,
powered
by
four
distinct
mentors,
King,
Aastha
Gill,
Aditya
Rikhari,
and
Parmish
Verma,
each
pushing
the
next
generation
of
homegrown
pop
into
the
spotlight.
From
day
one,
the
show
made
its
stance
clear
–
no
covers,
no
remixes,
only
fresh
compositions.
That
choice
transformed
I-POPSTAR
into
a
rare
space
where
creativity
wasn’t
just
encouraged,
it
was
the
rule.
Regional
flavours,
genre-bending
sounds,
and
deeply
personal
writing
all
merged
into
a
single
national
moment.
From
Rishabh
Panchal’s
four-buzzer
audition,
Radhika
Bhide’s
Marathi
originals
that
moved
mentors
to
tears,
to
Anurag
Srivastava’s
sharp,
socially
charged
anthems,
and
Rohit
Raut
landing
a
real
film
collaboration
with
Parmish
Verma
–
these
weren’t
just
performances,
but
were
markers
of
where
India’s
new
pop
movement
is
headed.
The
show’s
impact
didn’t
stay
confined
to
the
stage;
it
also
created
viral
moments
beyond
it.
Maan
Panu’s
original
single
“I’m
Done”
turned
into
a
nationwide
breakout,
exploding
on
Instagram
and
receiving
an
unexpected
endorsement
from
Salman
Khan,
who
publicly
praised
the
song
and
said
he
wished
the
track
were
one
of
his
own.
It
was
a
turning
point
that
proved
I-POPSTAR
is
not
only
discovering
talent,
it’s
launching
artists
into
the
mainstream.
With
original
tracks
now
streaming
on
Spotify
and
a
special
label
partnership
with
Universal
Music
India,
I-POPSTAR
has
become
one
of
the
first
Indian
reality
formats
where
contestants’ OG
compositions
travel
instantly
from
stage
to
global
streaming
platforms.
Now,
after
weeks
of
challenges,
defining
breakthroughs,
and
emotional
storytelling,
the
competition
is
down
to
its
final
pulse.
With
the
results
revealed,
Rohit,
Rishabh,
Maan,
and
Radhika
move
into
the
Grand
Finale
alongside
Charan,
while
Elvis,
Riya,
and
Anurag
exit
the
competition.
Each
finalist
represents
a
different
shade
of
India’s
evolving
pop
landscape,
setting
up
a
finale
that
is
less
like
a
showdown
and
more
like
a
milestone
for
independent
music.
The
Grand
Finale
drops
on
21st
November,
and
it’s
poised
to
mark
a
defining
moment
for
Indian
Pop.
Catch
it
exclusively
on
Amazon
MX
Player,
streaming
free
on
mobile,
Connected
TVs,

Amazon
shopping
app,
