Farhan Akthar Ready to 'Rock On' Screen

ROCK ON!! is already making a mark with audiences, with its innovative and fresh concept since the trailers hit the screens. Director Farhan Akthar of Dil Chahta Hai, Lakshya and DON fame has now turned to grace the screens with his acting and has also produced the movie which is due to hit screens on August 29th 2008.

Synopsis

Directed by Abhishek Kapoor - Rock On!! is the story of 4 friends who put together the greatest band this country has ever seen,but never make it. Years later date conspires to bring them together again and set them on a journey back to where they left off... a soul-searching into their past.

Rock On is said to be a vibrant movie that combines elements of music, fun, frolic reminiscent of ironic movies such as Grease and Saturday Night Fever, to capture the spirit of Youth.

The Story & Characters

In 1998, rock music had a shot in the arm with the emergence of Grunge. The voice of teenage angst found an audience across the globe and rock music seemed like it was on the threshold of becoming the leader in mainstream music.


'Magik' was one such band that wished to ride this wave.

Farhan Akhtar as Aditya Shroff: A bohemian wild boy from Delhi who left the comforts of his parents' home to chase his dream of becoming a singer in a rock band. He is the lead singer of 'Magik'

Arjun Rampal as Joe Mascarenhas: An idealist. A man of few words and lets his guitar do the talking. His loyalty towards his girlfriend and his band makes him the hero. It seems like God filled him with all the talent in the world but forgot to give him an opening to share it. He is the lead guitarist of the band.

Purab Kohli as KD (Kedar Zaveri): Prefers to be known as KD "Killer Drummer, On stage it may look like he is slamming those drums with a vengeance but actually, he's only just breathing. He is the heart of 'Magik'

Luke Kenny as Rob Nancy: The laid back quiet fence sitter of the band. Just to experience the moment of his creation was to be in the presence of something truly ethereal.



Just like an old Indian saying, if one dies without fulfilling a cherished dream he will be reborn to have another shot at it.
The 4 of them came from different walks of life but when they jammed together they were 'One'.

If Aditya was the mind then Joe was the will, Kd the heart and Rob the soul... Together they were... 'Pure Magik'

Rock On! Hits screens worldwide on 29th August '08.
