Playback singer Arijit Singh, who has completed 20 years in the music industry, has announced his biggest-ever India tour. The nine-city stadium-scale tour will take place from January to May 2027 as he celebrates two decades of his musical journey.

The tour will cover Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Mumbai, Bengaluru, New Delhi, Pune, Indore and Hyderabad, bringing Arijit’s music to audiences across the country.

Speaking about the tour, Arijit Singh said in a statement, “20 years of music is a journey I feel very grateful for. The greatest part of it has always been the people, the listeners who have given these songs a life of their own.”

He added, “I’m really looking forward to travelling across India and experiencing that love together, live on stage. There are so many songs, so many memories and so many people to meet. I can’t wait.”

The tour is set to offer a large-scale live experience featuring 360-degree spatial audio, kinetic LED fixtures, panoramic screens, laser arrays and stadium-scale pyrotechnics. The production has been designed to create an immersive experience for fans attending the shows.

The announcement comes after Arijit had previously announced his decision to step away from live performances, making the upcoming tour a significant moment for his fans as he marks 20 years in music.

Arijit Singh rose to fame with Fame Gurukul in 2005 and has since dominated Hindi playback music with numerous chart-topping hits.

At the heart of the tour will be what needs no introduction, Arijit Singh’s unmistakable voice. In 2027, he will mark 20 years in the music industry, celebrating a journey defined by thousands of songs, millions of listeners and a catalogue that has transcended languages, generations and borders.

Writing a Drishyam film was never going to be easy, but Aamil Keeyan Khan says Drishyam: The Conclusion pushed him further than either of the previous two instalments combined. The screenwriter, who co-wrote the film with director Abhishek Pathak and Parveez Shaikh, revealed he lost count of how many drafts the script went through, somewhere north of a hundred, with file names eventually spiralling into things like “FINAL,” “FINAL 2,” and finally, “FINAL PLEASE GOD.”

Unlike the first two Hindi films, which were adapted from Jeethu Joseph’s Malayalam originals, this third instalment had to stand on its own original story. That, Khan said, is exactly what made it so much harder to crack. “It was an enormous mountain to climb,” he admitted.

Keeping the twist under wraps turned out to be its own battle entirely, one fought largely against the people closest to him. “A lot of actors and crew from the film, and my own friends and relatives, tried to bribe me for the ending,” Khan revealed, though he stayed firm throughout. He couldn’t resist a cheeky comparison to the franchise’s own corrupt cop, joking, “But like Gaitonde, I remained honest and loyal to the producers,” referencing the character played by Kamlesh Sawant across all three films.

Khan’s association with the franchise goes back to his screenwriting debut on Drishyam 2 in 2022, and he’s since become something of a regular in Ajay Devgn’s camp, having also written Shaitaan. That history with director Abhishek Pathak clearly helped this time around too, with Khan noting the two now share enough of a shorthand that they often understand each other’s thoughts before a sentence is even finished.

The effort has paid off handsomely at the box office. Drishyam: The Conclusion, released on October 2, has already surpassed the lifetime collection of the very first film in the franchise, and continues racing toward the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide.

​”What I find encouraging is how broad that list is. It tells me that Swiss businesses see India as a serious long-term partner, not just a market for one or two industries,” Guy Parmelin said.
