Speculation has finally given way to confirmation: despite announcing his retirement from playback singing, Arijit Singh has lent his voice once more—this time for an Aamir Khan production. The news sent ripples of excitement through fans when the Bollywood superstar’s recent visit to Jiaganj sparked rumours about whether Arijit’s voice would feature in Aamir’s upcoming project, Mahabharat. Those rumours have now been clarified.
Last week, Aamir Khan travelled from Mumbai to Murshidabad to meet Arijit Singh. From Monday to Wednesday, the actor-producer stayed at a luxury hotel in Baharampur, immersing himself in the singer’s creative process. Reports say that late at night, Aamir even spent time on Arijit’s rooftop flying kites, and during the day, he dedicated hours to observing Arijit in the recording studio.
The timing was particularly intriguing because just a few days prior, Arijit had officially announced his farewell to the playback world. Naturally, fans and industry insiders were curious: why would one of Bollywood’s busiest stars interrupt his schedule to travel east, merely weeks after Arijit’s retirement announcement?
Initial reports suggested that Arijit’s last playback had been for Salman Khan’s Battle of Galwan, but that was not the end of the story. Rumours had also hinted that he would feature in Shah Rukh Khan’s King, though official confirmation never materialised. Now, Aamir Khan Productions has confirmed the next project to feature Arijit’s vocals: a romantic drama titled Ek Din. While Aamir serves as the producer, the film stars his son Junaid Khan alongside Sai Pallavi in the lead roles.
