Have taken breaks before too

However, this is not the first time that Pritam has talked about a break. Even before this, at the time of the release of ‘Metro…In Din’, he had said that he wanted to step back from commercial music because his children were going to America for studies and he wanted to spend time with them. Apart from this, in May also he had said that he wants to take a break like Arijit because he is tired of work and deadlines.

Will take a break for 3-4 years

In a conversation with Screen, Pritam had said, ‘It felt as if my body was thanking me that I had stayed away from work for some time. It was difficult in the beginning, but later I started liking it. Now I have completely decided that I will take a long break. For the last one year I have been telling my friends about my retirement. The truth is that the industry does not allow you to retire even when you yourself want to retire. He took a break of 6 to 8 months between 2014 and 2017. But now he wants to take a break for 3-4 years.

upcoming projects

Talking about work, he told that he has many projects and is working on about 10 albums. They want to exit from some of these and the work on some has been completed. At the same time, he is working on director Kabir Khan’s next film, Vikramaditya Motwane’s ‘Dada’ (Sourav Ganguly’s biopic) and Anurag Basu’s upcoming film, in which Kartik Aryan and Srileela are in lead roles.
