Rock On has an unconventional cast comprising former VJs Luke Kenny and Purab Raj Kohli alongside heart-throb Arjun Rampal. Director Farhan Akhtar and former TV actress Prachi Desai will make their big screen debuts.
Writing on Facebook, Farhan says, “I am really impressed by how many people recall the guitar riff from Lakshya in the Rock On!! track. The riff was stuck in my mind since first recorded in 2004 and we thought this would be the best outlet for it. As the lyrics say " ye mauka nahin milega dubaara’.”
He adds, “Rock has very rarely been served up in Indian films without the necessary "filmi sound" embellishments. With this movie, we are attempting to push the envelope and take Rock... Real Rock... and make it the basis for the soundtrack. It's been an amazing experience putting it together and if the journey was this exciting, I'm sure the destination will be fantastic! The music will be out in mid-July.”
Luke Kenny comments, “I am everyone will enjoy watching it as much as we had a blast making it...this is India’s first Rock N Roll Hindi film so wait and see.”
The film is about a rock band which was the greatest in the country but they never make it and how a long drawn reunion helps them achieve their musical ambitions. Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy have composed the music with Farhan singing four songs.
Directed by Abhishek Kapoor and produced by Excel Entertainment and Reliance Bog Entertainment, Rock On hits theatres on August 29 this year.

Farhaan Akhtar's music sense is quiet pleasin so hopefully this movie will also boast of some wonderful tracks (esp since its centered around music).
