MUMBAI, India — Singer Armaan Malik has released his latest song, “Aakhri Salaam,” from the upcoming film De De Pyaar 2, describing it as a track rooted more in introspection than heartbreak.
“Aakhri Salaam has a very different emotional core,” Malik said. “It isn’t just about love; it’s about closure, acceptance, and the quiet dignity of letting go.” He added that the song plays like a personal conversation, one in which “the heart finally learns to make peace with what it has lost.”
Comparing it to his earlier hit “Chale Aana” from the first De De Pyaar De, Malik noted that while that track centered on longing and separation, the new song reflects a deeper emotional maturity. “Aakhri Salaam carries that same vulnerability but with a deeper sense of maturity. It’s less about pain and more about reflection,” he said. “That’s what makes it special — it feels personal, yet extremely universal.”
The actor-singer returns to the romantic-comedy franchise with another soulful contribution as De De Pyaar 2 prepares for its theatrical release on November 14. Directed by Anshul Sharma, the film stars R. Madhavan, Rakul Preet Singh, Meezaan Jafri, and Javed Jaffrey.
Madhavan recently spoke about his experience working alongside Ajay Devgn, recalling the collaboration as inspiring and creatively enriching. “On set, like Ajay sir, I don’t compete,” Madhavan said. “The idea is to do the best we can for the sake of the character and the film. I’ve learned from Ajay sir that when the story works, the film works, everything works for everybody.” (Source: IANS)
