Fans got curious and hoped that Aamir would be able to convince Arijit to change his decision.

Turns out Aamir was at Arijit Singh’s residence for work. On Monday, Aamir Khan Productions officially announced that Arijit Singh will be lending his voice to its upcoming film Ek Din, setting the stage for a much-anticipated musical collaboration.

The Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan starrer film Ek Din had released the teaser a few days back and got all the love for its romantic theme and the unusual pairing of the lead actors.

According to the production house, Aamir Khan personally worked on the song with Arijit Singh, with the session taking place at the singer’s hometown. Whether Aamir was able to convince Arijit to sing after the singer’s retirement announcement or if the song was pre-decided, is not known yet.
