Did Arijit Singh Distance from AR Rahman & Pritam? Cryptic Tweet Sparks Debate
Mumbai, February 25, 2026
Post-retirement from playback singing, Arijit Singh’s tweet replying to fans urging collabs with Pritam, Mithoon, AR Rahman—”Some people compose only for themselves, not everyone”—fuels speculation of rift or differing creative visions.
Fan plea: “Don’t stop with Pritam, Mithoon, Rahman—humble request from listeners.”
Arijit’s response: Blunt remark interpreted as critique of self-serving composers, amid his shift to selective projects. No direct names, but timing raises eyebrows.
Arijit: No new film assignments, but backlog ensures releases through 2026-27. “Don’t waste time clarifying; focus on meditation, avoid 5G/social media chaos.” First post-retirement show: Kolkata concert drew massive crowds.
Industry awaits reactions from Rahman/Pritam; fans debate if it’s philosophy or shade. Arijit prioritizes peace over “merciless world.”
