Arijit Singh announced his retirement from playback singing in January this year through a cryptic New Year post, stating that he would not be taking up new projects. Despite this, his songs have continued to be released back-to-back. The singer’s fifth song - including independent tracks - dropped today. The latest song is from Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar.

Reports suggest, for this particular track, it was not the makers who approached the singer; instead, the situation was the other way around. Arijit Singh reportedly reached out to the team himself for the song Tu Hi Disda. However, it is not clear whether he contacted the makers before or after announcing his retirement from playback singing.

According to a source from the film industry, Arijit Singh felt an instant connection when he first heard Tu Hi Disda. He believed he could bring out the song’s emotions more effectively with his voice and therefore reached out to the film’s team.

“Arijit Singh personally reached out to Balaji Motion Pictures and Pritam’s team, expressing his desire to lend his voice to the song ‘Tu Hi Disda.’ He instantly felt a strong connection with the track and believed he could bring the right emotions and depth to it. Seeing his passion and understanding of the song, the team was equally delighted, as his voice beautifully enhances the emotional essence of the film.”
