Arijit Singh Exits Awarapan 2, Blames Prior Commitments

Looks like Awarapan 2 just lost its golden voice. Industry chatter suggests that Arijit Singh, the man behind some of Bollywood’s most iconic tracks like Kesariya and Channa Mereya, won’t be part of the upcoming sequel. His manager reportedly confirmed the news, citing existing professional obligations that are keeping him tied up.

The playback singing legend has become synonymous with emotional, soulful cinema moments over his career. Fans were presumably hoping he’d bring that magic to Awarapan 2, but it seems his dance card is simply too full right now. While the specifics of his other commitments remain under wraps, reports doing the rounds suggest it’s a scheduling clash rather than any creative disagreement.

This leaves the film’s music team scrambling to find a replacement vocalist who can match the original’s vibe. Whether another A-list singer steps up to fill those shoes remains to be seen. We’re keeping our ear to the ground on this one.
