Music composer Pritam celebrated his birthday on June 14, but a day later, his Instagram post sparked concern among fans that he's planning to take a break from composing mainstream music for Bollywood films.
In the post, Pritam wrote, "Today, I have decided to gift myself a few years to live life differently. To catch up on what I’ve missed." He added, "Time to set off on new journeys, which have been kept on the back burner for long."
His statement comes after Arijit Singh announced that he will no longer take up new assignments as a playback vocalist, but clarified that he won't stop making music.
Pritam has been ruling Bollywood music for over two decades now, with famous albums including Jab We Met, Barfi!, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and Dangal.
His fans are shocked and saddened by the news, with some commenting, "First Arijit, then you...taking a break from mainstream Bollywood Music" and "Pritam da retirement le rahe ho kya??? Tussi maat jao".
