New Delhi [India], February 12 : Punjabi lyricist and composer Jaani has reunited with singer Arijit Singh after a gap of seven years. The duo had previously collaborated on their 2019 hit, 'Bada Pachtaoge.'

The duo's history adds context to the latest post. Jaani previously wrote the lyrics for Pachtaoge, a hit track sung by Arijit Singh and featuring Nora Fatehi and Vicky Kaushal in the lead.
The Instagram update has ignited discussions among fans, with several fan pages reposting the content, leading to widespread speculation about a potential collaboration.
One such repost was captioned: "Seven years later, Jaani links up with Arijit Singh and the energy screams new music in the making."
However, no official announcements have been made regarding any upcoming projects.
The post comes shortly after Arijit Singh returned to the stage in Kolkata for his first live show following his announcement of retirement from playback singing.
The moment was special for fans, as the Tum Hi Ho singer joined sitarist Anoushka Shankar on stage for a joint performance.
Meanwhile, Bollywood actor and producer Aamir Khan also visited the singer's hometown, Jiaganj, in West Bengal's Murshidabad district.
Aamir revealed that the visit was linked to his production venture Ek Din, for which the Tum Hi Ho singer has lent his voice.
The film is produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions and stars Junaid Khan, Aamir Khan's son, alongside Sai Pallavi in the lead roles.
The official social media handle of Aamir Khan Productions thanked Arijit for lending his voice to the film.
Aamir also mentioned that the time he spent with Arijit and his family felt very special. "Thank you, Arijit, for lending your voice to our film Ek Din. The four days spent with you, your family, and your team felt magical. Love, A," he wrote.
Arijit Singh shocked his fans when he announced that he would no longer take on new assignments as a playback singer, bringing an end to what he described as a "wonderful" journey.
In a message shared on Instagram, Arijit expressed gratitude for the love he has received over the years. "Hello, Happy New Year to all. I want to thank you all for giving me so much love over the years as listeners. I am happy to announce that I am not going to be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on. I am calling it off. It was a wonderful journey," he wrote.
