If
one
thought
that
Bollywood
was
the
only
film
industry
churning
out
a
film
with
the
title
Rock
On
then
think
again.
That's
because
in
Hollywood
as
well,
work
is
in
full
progress
for
its
own
version
of
Rock
On.
While
the
principal
shooting
of
Rock
On
has
been
completed,
there
is
still
some
flip-flop
over
the
final
title.
A
musical-comedy-romance
film,
the
film
was
earlier
titled
Will
and
there
have
been
murmurs
around
Bandslam
being
the
latest
title
in
discussions.
Starring
Gaelan
Connell,
Lisa
Kudrow,
Alyson
Michalka
and
Vanessa
Hudgens,
the
film
(just
like
the
Bollywood
version
starring
Farhan
Akhtar,
Prachi
Desai,
Arjun
Rampal,
Purab
Kohli,
Luke
Kenny,
Shahana
Goswami
and
Koel
Puri)
tells
the
story
about
a
group
of
friends
coming
together
and
forming
a
rock
band.
It
is
about
this
boy
named
Will
who
is
a
high
school
outcast
and
a
popular
girl
Charlotte
who
form
an
unlikely
bond
through
their
shared
love
of
music.
While
the
boy
is
used
to
being
bullied
or
completely
ignored
by
his
schoolmates,
he
is
stunned
when
this
cool
and
popular
former
cheerleader
starts
inviting
him
to
spend
time
with
her.
Impressed
by
his
eclectic
knowledge
of
music,
the
girl
asks
Will
to
manage
her
rock
band.
Her
goal
is
to
take
revenge
on
her
egocentric
musician
ex-boyfriend
Ben
at
a
regional
battle-of-the-bands.
Unsure
of
what
he's
getting
himself
into,
Will
agrees
to
help
Charlotte's
band,
including
Bug
and
Omar,
eventually
expanding
it
with
a
crew
of
like-minded
outcasts.
Against
all
odds,
the
group's
sound
starts
to
come
together
and
how
they
reach
their
final
goal
forms
the
crux
of
Rock
On.
Well,
that
was
Hollywood's
Rock
On
for
you
which
would
release
only
in
2009.
Meanwhile,
now
it
has
to
be
seen
what's
the
story
that
Farhan's
Rock
On
has
to
tell
once
the
film
sees
its
worldwide
release
today.
