How can i get the old current_module() functionality?

There’s no equivalent. The exact fix of this depending on what you are actually using this for at a higher level

3

I am trying to achieve the functionality of foo() which is giving me the module wherever i am calling the function.

4

That is exactly the thing that is not possible. You need to figure out why you need that behavior.

Or in another word, what does your function do, what does it operate on the module and why does it care about the module the top-level code is running in.
