Rock On!! is the sequel of Dil Chahta Hai: Farhan Akhtar
Rock On!! is a critical and commercial success and now many people are expecting a sequel of this fabulous movie but neither Abhishek Kapoor nor Farhan Akhtar are showing any interest in making Rock On!! sequel. Few days ago, I wrote about Abhishek Kapoor being asked about Rock On!! sequel and he replied that he was not thinking about it at the moment. Same answer came from director turned actor, Farhan Akhtar. He feels that he has enough. He does not want to continue it. Farhan said:
“The director Abhishek Kapoor should know about the sequel. As for me, I’m not for it. I feel Rock On is a sequel to my own Dil Chahta Hai. Both transported me to the same emotional space. So I’ve had enough of it. I think Abhishek has a lot more to do as a filmmaker than a sequel.”
The way Rang De Basanti influenced Indian youth, Rock On!! had the same influence on Indi-rock. Because of Rock On!!, Indi-rock revived again. Regional bands are getting lots of exposure in the media and people are showing lots of interest in band music and rock music. This makes Farhan Akhtar very happy. He said that Rock On!! had created something which even they could not control. After the release of the movie, where ever Farhan Akhtar and other actors gave live performance, they received great response from the audience. For now, Farhan Akhtar is just basking under the success of Rock On!!
