The Story in Brief
Amaal Mallik has clarified that Arijit Singh is singing for Awarapan 2 entirely by choice, with no pressure from anyone. Mallik told NDTV that when he approached Singh with the song 'Tumhe Kitna Pyar Karte Hain', the singer instantly liked it and agreed to record. This ends weeks of speculation that Singh had been forced to work with the film's producer Bhushan Kumar, after reports of a fallout between the two.
Singh had mostly stopped playback singing for new films, reportedly after a dispute with Kumar over royalty payments and working conditions. His return for a Bhushan Kumar production had surprised many. Mallik now says the singer was never pressured and that the decision was purely artistic. The film Awarapan 2 stars Mohit Suri, who previously directed the original Awarapan.
The Indian Opinion
Fans often imagine a feud where there is none. Arijit Singh’s hiatus was his choice, and his return for Awarapan 2 was also his choice. The narrative of a great rift with Bhushan Kumar makes for spicy gossip, but the facts say otherwise. A single song does not prove friendship or enmity. The real test will be whether Singh works with Kumar again for future projects. Until then, every new collaboration is just a song, not a statement.
