Bollywood’s famous singer and composer Arijit Singh surprised everyone by announcing his retirement from playback singing on Tuesday. By sharing a post on his social media, he had announced that he will no longer take any new playback singing assignments. However, new reports about his future projects have already started emerging. Accordingly, he will now direct the film.
Arijit Singh will direct the film?
Hindustan Times report quoted a source as saying, “Arijit is going to be busy with his first film as a director, he was very passionate about it for a long time, and it requires time and effort. He is not able to do that with so many offers. He will fulfill his directorial responsibilities, it is like a break of a year or more.”
Although reports have claimed that Arijit Singh’s “retirement” from playback singing is only temporary, the singer has not reacted to these rumours. It is being said that Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s daughter Shora will be the heroine in Arijit’s debut film as a director.

Finally, I have gathered the necessary courage.” The singer further said, “One reason is quite simple that I lose interest quickly, that is why I often change the arrangements of my songs and perform them live.”
Then he made a shocking revelation, “So, the truth is: I’m tired, I need to explore different types of music to move forward.” Arijit also wrote about his desire to make room for new talent in the industry, “Another reason is that I want to listen to new singers who can truly inspire me.”
