Amaal Mallik announces break from music, says no new film songs till next year

Music composer Amaal Mallik is stepping away temporarily from film music and will not compose any new film songs till next year. In a note shared on X on August 27, the 36-year-old said that he needed time to focus on his health and take a break for his mind, body, soul and overall physical healing.

Mallik said some old unreleased film songs would still arrive soon, though he added that he was unsure about the future of a few smaller-budget films because such projects do not get screens easily. He asked people not to pester him for more updates and said he would return after recovering. In separate Instagram posts, he also addressed the music and film industry at length.

In his note on X, Mallik said he was "all good" but wanted to do what was best for his health and his heart. "Need a break for my mind, body, soul and overall physical healing. Need to rise, recuperate and bounce back soon with a heart full of melodies for



you all my dearest #Amaalians (sic)," he wrote.

He clarified that he would not be composing any new film songs till next year and added, "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 Please request you not to pester me any further. Will update as I get to know (sic)."

Mallik also wrote that his journey had taken him far from music to cinema and that he was now walking back towards music. He signed off by asking to be bid farewell for now and said he would be back, ending the note with "The Creator of #YehAwarapan (sic)".

On Instagram Stories, Mallik shared a photograph from the hospital in which he was seen lying on a bed. He captioned it, "Too much Awarapan leads to this only (sic)."
