Farhan Akhtar, who successfully wielded the director’s megaphone with Dil Chahta Hai , has now turned actor playing the lead role, that of a music band’s lead singer, in the musical Rock On. He has actually sung 6 of the 9 tracks of the album himself.

This movie has created vibes all across the world with its music, which is directed by the music maestros Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy.

Rock On has been produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, and marks the acting debut of Farhan Akhtar as well.

The cast of Rock on includes Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Luke Kenny and television actress Prachi Desai.

Four months of rigorous training has given this gang of five confidences enough to perform live. The call themselves Magik Band and they have plans to go for live shows in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Calcutta and Delhi.

The story of Rock On revolves around an unsuccessful rock band. Ten years later, the four members of the band bump into each other again, and set on a journey together from where they had left. Rock On sees Prachi Desai (Bani) in a very different look, nothing like the bahu image we’re used to. The film is important for its director, Abhishek Kapoor, who made his debut with the Sohail Khan-starrer, Aryan.
