Shraddha Kapoor replaces Alia Bhatt in Rock On Sequel

Gorgeous Actress Shraddha Kapoor has been roped in to play female in the upcoming sequel of 2008 film Rock On.

Presently termed Rock On 2, the movie is expected to release in 2016. Earlier, Alia Bhat was considered for the role, but it is heard that she opted out due to other priorities.

Confirming the news, Shraddha says, “I am extremely excited to be a part of Rock On 2. I am a big fan of the first part and and love the character I am playing in the sequel. It is a role that involves singing and live performances and that very few roles give you a chance to do.”

The film will be based on male-bonding. The music will be composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Javed Akhtar

The film would be directed by Abhishek Kapoor, and produced by Farhan Akhtar. The Trio of Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli would reprise their roles.

Rock On marked the successful Bollywood debut of Farhan Akhtar and Prachi Desai. The winner of seven Filmfare awards, Rock On was critically acclaimed but had an average performance at the box office.
