‘Ab mujhe vida karo’: Amaal Mallik takes break from film music, asks fans not to pester him

Amaal Mallik, the acclaimed composer and singer, has announced that he will take a break from film music until next year. In a message posted on X, the musician revealed that he is prioritizing his mental, physical and overall health. Amaal explained that he needs time to recover and "rise, recuperate and bounce back soon with a heart full of melodies for my dear Amaalians."

The announcement comes after Amaal recently spoke about facing opposition from powerful individuals in the film and music industry. He claimed that attempts were being made to create negativity around his work. Furthermore, the composer expressed his frustration with industry politics and groupism, stating that he will no longer be part of such "clout, power setups and petty groupism."

Amaal also mentioned that some previously recorded and unreleased songs may still be released if the films they were created for eventually get made. However, he urged fans not to pester him any further, promising to update them as he learns more about the situation. The statement concludes with Amaal bidding his fans farewell, saying, "Ab mujhe Vida Karo (bid adieu), I'll be back."
