The upcoming musical drama film is directed by Saudagar, produced by Farhan and Sidhwani, and has music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. While Farhan, Arjun Rampal, Prachi Desai and Purab Kohli reprise their roles from “Rock On”, Shraddha and “Titli” fame actor and musician Shashank Arora have joined the team for the sequel.

Shraddha Kapoor: “This is the first time I am singing rock songs”

The actress says singing rock songs was difficult. “I am very fond of rock music so I was happy to get to sing my own songs in the film. I hope the songs of the film will receive as much love as the prequel,” she said.

Talking about the story of the film Farhan said, “Being the sequel of Rock On!! the story of the film revolves around the earlier characters but with different twist and turns. It is the continuous journey of the band – Magik.”

Farhan said that while the first film is about four guys who created Magik, this film is about how the journey of ‘Magik’ continues as young musicians join the band.

Farhan completed 15 years in Bollywood, as he directed his first film ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ in 2001, which has achieved a cult following.

Talking about his journey as actor, director, singer and writer, he said, “When you work out of passion, you don’t think much about challenges. You do not calculate what you have to compromise to get creative satisfaction. You work with joy!”
