Arijit Singh returns with ‘Yeh Awarapan’ as title track of ‘Awarapan 2’
Arijit Singh’s return to playback singing for ‘Awarapan 2’ marks one of the most significant music moments of the year, with the singer lending his voice to the new title track ‘Yeh Awarapan’. The song releases on 21 July 2026, and multiple verified reports confirm that Vishesh Bhatt personally brought Singh back from retirement to anchor the emotional core of the sequel.
Arijit Singh’s involvement centres on the film’s lead character, Shivam Pandit, with the track positioned as the defining musical theme of his world. The song is composed by Amaal Mallik and written by Rashmi Virag, continuing the long creative relationship between Singh and Vishesh Films — a partnership that began with ‘Phir Mohabbat’ in ‘Murder 2’ and went on to produce several landmark ballads over the past fifteen years.
