Farhan
Akhtar,
the
poster
boy
of
'Bollywood
rock'
is
featured
on
the
cover
page
of
the
iconic
Rolling
Stone
India
magazine
for
the
March
2016
issue.
But
has
Rolling
Stone
Magazine
made
the
right
decision
by
featuring
an
actor
with
mediocre
singing
talent
to
brace
its
prestigious
cover
page?
Well,
business
wise
Rolling
Stone's
decision
is
absolutely
right.
A
star
like
Farhan
Akhtar
has
the
capacity
to
sell
the
magazines
as
his
image
would
reach
far
and
wide.
He's
also
the
new
poster
boy
of
rock
music
in
Bollywood
who
plays
rock
songs
in
his
movies,
Rock
On
and
upcoming
movie
Rock
On
2.
However,
an
iconic
music
magazine
which
celebrated
'real
and
good
rock
musicians'
all
these
years,
has
suddenly
picked
a
'rock
artist'
who
has
little
knowledge
about
what
really
rock
music
is!
Of
course,
his
band
Farhan
Live
performs
well
in
front
of
an
audience,
his
movie
Rock
On
was
a
superhit,
but
does
that
really
qualify
him
to
be
featured
on
the
cover
page
of
Rolling
Stone
India?
Well
the
truth
is,
Farhan
Akhtar
is
an
amazing
man,
a
good
father
and
a
person
with
good
acting
skills,
but
his
singing
talent
is
as
average
as
a
young
boy
learning
to
play
the
guitar
with
the
easiest
available
lyrics.
The
vocal
style
is
weak,
lacks
grip
and
feels
like
a
duck
singing
on
stage.
However,
we're
not
against
Farhan
Akhtar
the
musician,
not
against
Rolling
Stone
India
and
not
against
Rock
On
2,
but
we're
against
things
that
are
mediocre
being
polished
just
to
make
it
look
good
in
the
name
of
rock,
or
let's
say
Indie
Rock.
Looking
at
the
current
scenario,
days
are
not
far
when
iconic
music
magazines
would
start
featuring
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
on
their
cover
pages
just
because
'they
know
how
to
play
a
guitar',
and
of
course
sell
more
copies
in
the
process.
