Aamir Khan reveals he requested Arijit to reconsider retirement decision
What's the story
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently visited the West Bengal town of Murshidabad to meet renowned playback singer Arijit Singh. In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Khan revealed that the purpose of his visit was related to Singh's rendering of the Ek Din songs. Although he did try to convince Singh to continue singing for films, it was not part of the original purpose of his visit.
Purpose revealed
'Not to convince him...'
Khan explained, "I was in Murshidabad a few days ago. I was not there to convince Arijit not to quit singing for films. I was there for another purpose." He added, "Though I did try my best to convince him to reconsider, but in vain. He seems to have made up his mind." To recall, Singh announced his retirement from playback singing on January 27, shocking fans and industry peers.
Commitment
Singh has five songs in 'Ek Din'
Singh had already committed to Ek Din before announcing his retirement. Khan said, "He is singing for Junaid's character." "Since Ek Din was an earlier commitment, he wanted to complete it. Ek Din has five songs, and he sings in all of them." "He has absolutely nailed the songs!!! And so sad for films and all of us who are his fans." Ek Din, starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, releases on May 1.
