“I’m on His Side”: Vishal Dadlani Backs ‘Musical Genius’ Arijit Singh After Playback Singing Exit Talk

Singer-composer Vishal Dadlani has voiced his support for Arijit Singh following the latter’s decision to step away from playback singing. Reacting to the development, Dadlani said he respects Singh’s choice and believes artists should have the freedom to pursue music on their own terms.

Arijit Singh recently revealed that he plans to step back from taking on new playback singing assignments for films, a move that sparked widespread discussion among fans and within the music industry. However, the singer clarified that he is not quitting music entirely and intends to continue creating and releasing independent projects that offer greater creative control.

Responding to the announcement, Dadlani described Singh as a remarkable artist and emphasised that he stands by whatever direction the singer chooses for his career. He added that musicians should feel free to explore and evolve creatively rather than remain confined to industry expectations.

Singh’s decision marks a significant shift in his career, as the acclaimed vocalist has been one of the most prominent voices in Bollywood playback music over the past decade. With his focus now turning toward independent music and creative exploration, fans can expect the singer to continue releasing new work outside the traditional film music ecosystem.
