He also said that he is taking a break for just one year and that fans will be able to listen to his old unreleased songs in the meantime. “PS - No more film music till next year, old unreleased film songs will arrive soon if the films even end up releasing, as they are smaller budget movies with good intent and such people don't get screens easily so don't know the future of those projects….”

Amaal also had a request for his fans, asking them not to pester him for updates on the songs. “Please request you not to pester me any further. Will update as I get to know. Music se cinema tak ka safar mujhe bohot door le aaya hai, ab music ki taraf wapas chalne laga hoon….”

He ended his note with the words, “Ab mujhe Vida Karo, I'll be back. Anyways signing off for a bit.” He signed off the post with the words, “The creator of Yeh Awarapan.”

Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the film was produced by Vishesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt under their banner, Vishesh Films.

Amaal Mallik announced that he will not be creating new film music until next year. He plans for his break to last for one year.
