Singer Arijit Singh has announced his retirement from playback singing, leaving fans surprised. In a social media post, he stated he will not take any new singing assignments once his current commitments are completed. Sources suggest that Arijit is now fully focused on filmmaking and is preparing for his directorial debut featuring a new cinematic project.
According to insiders, Arijit has been planning this transition for a long time. “He’s very passionate about filmmaking, and it requires his full attention,” a close source said. “With the flood of singing offers he receives, he couldn’t focus on directing otherwise.” The source added that Arijit has put his singing career on hold to dedicate himself to his upcoming film.
Reports indicate that Arijit will devote at least a year to his directorial work. “He will complete his directorial debut featuring a strong team and cast. This is more like a career break from singing for a year or longer,” the insider noted.
Rumors suggest that Shora Siddiqui, daughter of actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, may star in the project. If confirmed, this will mark Shora’s acting debut. Her talent gained attention after a viral video of her acting in July 2025. While Arijit and Nawazuddin have not officially announced the cast, speculation continues to grow online.
Fans reacted emotionally to Arijit Singh’s announcement. In his note, he thanked listeners for their support over the years and expressed gratitude for his journey. “I am announcing that I will not be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on.
