While all eyes are set on Harman Baweja and Imran Khan who would be making their high profile debut with LOVE STORY 2050 and JAANE TU YA JAANE NAA respectively this Friday, one actor is quietly looking forward to a big screen debut with ROCK ON!!
The man is Farhan Akhtar and even though he is an established director with three big films like DIL CHAHTA HAI, LAKSHYA and DON - THE CHASE BEGINS AGAIN under his belt, he has chosen a restricted budget for his acting debut.
Farhan's co-production with Ritiesh Sidhwani, ROCK ON!! is a film about four rock stars played by Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Luke Kenny and Farhan himself. The film is set on a medium budget and also marks the big screen debut of TV starlet Prachi Desai.
Interestingly, even though Farhan has worked with the likes of Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna in the films directed by him, he has no qualms working with relative newcomers in ROCK ON!! with Arjun Rampal being the senior most.
ROCK ON!! is directed by Abhishek Kapoor who made his debut behind the camera with ARYAN - THE UNBREKABLE. Even though the film was a flop (mainly due to a delayed release), ARYAN did meet with a decent response from those who saw it. Earlier, more than a decade back, Abhishek had made a beginning as an actor with a film called AASHIQUE MASTANA but subsequently dropped plans for an extended acting career with a failure like UFF YEH MOHABBAT.
With music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy and lyrics by Javed Akhtar, ROCK ON!! is all set for a 29th August release.
