Thursday, 11th Dec 2014, 6:34 PM IST There were reports that Alia Bhatt will be starring in ‘Rock On 2’, a sequel to ‘Rock On’. It was also said that she will be singing all her songs in the film. But, there’s a bad news for Alia’s fans. The actress has not yet signed the film. The director of the film, Shujaat Saudagar said, “The casting will happen next month. Farhan, Purab Kohli and Arjun Rampal from the first part remain.” Talking about the same, a source said, “There will be a new recruit in the band, a female recruit. Alia Bhatt is one of the possibilities. But her dates are not working out.” A source close project said, “We don’t know where these reports are coming from. Alia Bhatt has been approached. But that’s about it. There is no question of her singing her own songs. We don’t even know what kind of music the sequel will have and how much of it the characters other than Farhan Akhtar will be singing.” Talking about the film, the source said, “Though the basic idea is by Abhishek Kapoor who directed the first ‘Rock On’ (he opted out of the sequel and took ‘Kai Po Che’ to another producer because he asked Ritesh Sidhwani’s production house Excel for a big fat fee hike after the success of ‘Rock On’) ‘Rock On 2’ will be directed by Shujaat Saudagar who has not directed feature films before this (he did direct a one-hour telefilm titled ‘Bali’, though). Ritesh Sidhwani (the film’s producer) has asked the cast members to block their dates in April 2015. The core cast of Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli remains (the Luke Kenny character is dead). There will be one major female character, a singer in the rock band.” “Alia’s dates are not working out. She has committed herself to Homi Adjania’s next with Sushant Singh Rajput which starts at around the same time as ‘Rock On 2’. Shraddha Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra are also being considered,” added the source. Talking about the casting, Ritesh said, “Nothing for ‘Rock On 2’ has been finalized except the director. No cast has been finalized.”
