Rock On 2 Disaster! Arjun Rampal Blames It On Demonetisation
Arjun Rampal blames demonetisation for the failure of Rock On 2. Says people's purchasing power is now limited and that has hampered the business of Rock On 2.
Rock On was one of the biggest superhits of 2008 as the movie was totally different from the same old routine Bollywood romantic movies. Rock On won the audiences' hearts in terms of both the storyline and the songs but the sequel - Rock On 2 ended up being a complete disaster at the box office and the songs are terrible!
Arjun
Rampal
is
disappointed
about
the
outcome
of
the
movie
and
feels
that
demonetisation
is
the
root
cause
for
the
films
failure
as
people's
purchasing
power
has
become
limited
and
there
is
no
regular
cash
flow
on
their
hands.
"We
were
suddenly
staring
at
an
audience
with
zero
purchasing
power.
I
have
to
admit
we
panicked.
We
had
two
choices.
We
could
postpone
our
release
or
go
ahead
as
planned.
We
did
try
to
push
it
ahead.
But
it
was
not
possible.
We
had
to
release,
and
the
film
took
the
brunt
of
the
demonetisation.
But
no
regrets."
However, Arjun Rampal came out in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by saying that it's for a greater cause and we all have to make sacrifices for the good of the country. "These are very small hardships when compared with the long-term benefits. So yeah, our Rock On 2 took a beating because of the demonetisation. But for the larger good, we need to make sacrifices."
So what do you guys think? Did Rock On 2 fail due to demonetisation or did it fail as the songs and the plot were not up to the mark? Please leave your comments!
