Multiple reports address whether singer Arijit Singh is returning from retirement to playback for Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming film, ‘Awarapan 2.’ One outlet frames the discussion around the possibility of a return, while another provides clarification. Times of India reports that Arijit Singh’s manager says the singer is not making a comeback and is instead fulfilling “old commitments” that were finalized before Arijit Singh had announced his retirement earlier this year. The reports also note that a new song from the film is released, and that this track is part of the projects Singh had already committed to. They further state that the song reflects a reunion between Arijit Singh and producer Vishesh Bhatt, following their earlier collaboration. ‘Awarapan 2’ is scheduled for a theatrical release on August 14. Overall, the coverage agrees that the new track features Arijit Singh, while disputing whether it should be characterized as a return to playback singing.
