Arijit Singh is not merely a voice but an emotion for millions of fans, having gifted Bollywood a string of blockbuster songs. When the singer announced his retirement from playback singing in January 2026, it left millions of his fans heartbroken.

However, the recent release of his latest song for Emraan Hashmi's upcoming film *Awarapan 2* not only delighted fans but also sparked rumors on social media that Arijit Singh was making a comeback to the world of playback singing. Now, his manager has clarified the truth behind these rumors of his return to singing.

Is Arijit Singh really returning to the world of singing?
Arijit Singh's manager has categorically stated that the singer is not making a comeback to the music industry. Speaking to *The Print*, she said, "Arijit is only completing projects that he had signed before announcing his retirement. Arijit Singh is not making a comeback to playback singing; these are all his past commitments."

'Yeh Awarapan' receiving a fantastic response
While the first song from Emraan Hashmi's film *Awarapan 2* may not have cast a spell on the audience, the new track 'Yeh Awarapan'—featuring Arijit Singh's vocals—is being widely appreciated by listeners. This beautiful song has been composed by Amaal Mallik, with lyrics penned by Rashmi Virag.

This song is not just a track but also a magnificent reunion between Arijit Singh and Vishesh Bhatt (Vishesh Films), the producer of *Awarapan 2*. The two had previously collaborated on chart-busting songs for films such as *Aashiqui 2*, *Jalebi*, *CityLights*, and *Hamari Adhuri Kahani*.

When will *Awarapan 2* be released in theaters? As for the release date of 'Awarapan 2', the film is set to hit theaters on August 14, where it will face direct box-office competition from Sunny Deol's highly anticipated film 'Bantwara: 1947'. This film will mark the first time audiences see the fresh pairing of Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani. Additionally, Shabana Azmi and Atul Kumar will appear in pivotal roles.
