Farhan Akhtar thrilled with Rock On, but not for sequel

Farhan Akhtar is thrilled that Rock On has created a revolution of sorts for Hindi-rock music

‘”Rock On‘ has created a certain parameter within which other films based on music will be gauged. People within the industry feel more adventurous and conscientious after ‘Rock On‘,” Farhan Akhtar, who made his acting debut with the film, told reporters.

“Suddenly there’s an upsurge of rock. We suddenly have an Indi-rock revival. Regional bands are again playing … Newspaper articles are being written about desi rock. Suddenly I feel we’ve started something we can’t control. It’s all very encouraging.

“It’s a great thing happening here. Credit must go to our director Abhishek Kapoor, who was very adamant on doing a film on a neglected cultural phenomenon,” said Farhan, who has made films like “Dil Chahta Hain” and “Lakshya”.

But he stressed that he was not keen on a sequel. He said he had enough of the Rock on saga.

“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.”, said Farhan.

Also, Farhan Akhtar said that his experiences of concerts in Delhi , Pune and Mumbai had gone far beyond their expectations..
