Arijit Singh has not returned to playback singing, according to representatives for the artist. Despite recent speculation fueled by the release of the song “Yeh Awarapan” for the film Awarapan 2, the singer’s management team clarified that he is simply fulfilling professional obligations that were finalized prior to his retirement announcement earlier this year.
The confusion began on Tuesday following the release of the track, which led many fans to believe the popular vocalist had reversed his decision to step away from the playback industry. In response to the rumors, a manager for Arijit Singh told The Print that the singer is not accepting new projects. “He is just completing the projects that were finalised before the retirement was announced. Arijit isn’t doing a comeback in playback singing. These are old commitments,” the manager stated.
Arijit Singh surprised his audience in January when he announced his intention to retire from playback singing. Since that time, his voice has continued to appear in several songs released over the past few months, a trend that has prompted recurring questions from followers regarding the status of his career.

The high level of public interest in the project is largely attributed to the enduring popularity of the original film’s music, which continues to enjoy a loyal fan following years after its release. Because of this, anticipation for the sequel’s soundtrack was significant, leading to heightened scrutiny of any new musical contributions associated with the project.
Future Updates and Official Status
There are currently no scheduled public updates regarding the status of Arijit Singh’s career beyond the clarification provided by his team.
