Arijit Singh’s announcement of no new Hindi playback gigs has sent shockwaves through Bollywood. The man who’s lent his golden voice to hits dominating airwaves for over a decade is stepping back, devastating devotees. But hope flickers via Gadar 2 director Anil Sharma’s touching outreach.
Sharma flooded X with Gadar 2 gems sung by Arijit – ‘Dil Jhoom’, ‘Khaairiyat’ – hailing them as masterpieces. He penned a poignant message: Arijit is a ‘genius’, his songs like ‘Tera Fitoor’ irreplaceable. ‘Rest now, but return – singing is your lifeblood,’ he beseeched, speaking for the entire industry and fans craving more.
Behind the scenes, theories abound. T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar faces blame over alleged coercion for Border 2 tracks, which he vehemently denies. Arijit, however, shifts gears globally: world tours in 2027, star-studded international collabs, and pending Hindi obligations.
This isn’t goodbye forever, Sharma insists. Arijit’s voice has shaped modern Bollywood soundtracks. With Sharma’s rallying cry leading the charge, anticipation builds for a potential resurgence that could reignite the magic.
