Exclusive! Will Rock On 3 Happen? Here's What Director Shujaat Saudagar Has To Say

In 2008, Rock On had hit the big screens. The movie revolved around a rock band named Magik, and it starred Farhan Akhtar, Prachi Desai, Arjun Rampal, Luke Kenny, and Purab Kohli. The film was a hit at the box office and collected Rs. 36.14 crore. Rock On also won multiple awards, including two National Awards, Best Feature Film in Hindi and Best Supporting Actor (Arjun Rampal).

After 12 years of Rock On, in 2016, the makers came up with a sequel to the film titled Rock On 2. It starred Farhan, Arjun, Prachi, and Purab reprised their roles in the sequel, and Shraddha Kapoor joined the cast.

While the first part was directed by Abhishek Kapoor, Rock On 2 was directed Shujaat Saudagar. The sequel failed to impress the audiences and it was a flop at the box office with a collection of Rs. 10.47 crore.

Now, the season of sequels is going on in Bollywood. This year as well as next year many sequels are lined up for a release. Filmibeat recently interacted with Shujaat Saudagar and spoke to him about the Rock On franchise.

When asked if they are planning a Rock On 3, the filmmaker said, "I really don't think so. At the end of the day, we need to have a story to tell, a story that we believe and it needs to make complete sense in terms of believability."

"Right now, it hasn't even crossed our minds and we are not focusing on Rock On. The first part had a great run, it did fantastically well. It had great music and gave life to so many actors and Gattu (Abhishek Kapoor) also as a director. So, I think it had its life and you never know what happens in the future," he added.
