Congrats to Arjun Rampal for winning Best Supporting Actor for Rock On!! at the 54th Filmfare Awards!!
Arjun says "It feels nice, fantastic. All of us want our hand around this Black lady. I want to say thanks to everyone. Farhan, Abhishek, Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy and the cast and crew who made this happen. And finally all the people who stood by me... my family, friends and fans."
He learnt to play the guitar, grew his hair really long and genuinely gelled with his co-stars. The effort has paid off for model-turned-actor Arjun Rampal who says Rock On is his biggest hit so far.
He has been showered with praise for his performance as down-and-out rocker Joe Mascarenhas in the hit movie about four friends who form a rock band.
"Everyone thought Rock On was going to be just a multiplex film. It's gone way beyond. People are getting in touch with their old friends because of Rock On. That's truly gratifying. Even the small-towners are reacting to it. Just proves if you make a film from your heart, it connects. All I can say is, wow. This is my biggest success so far," Arjun said.
As we talk, Arjun gets a call from Suraj, the lead singer of the band Dream Out Loud who tells Arjun, 'So many musicians can connect with the musician's characters in Rock On .You gave them back hope.'
"What more could I've hoped for?" says Arjun in amazement. Bollywood's first true-blue rock star is born. And Arjun Rampal who has been praised by everyone from Shekhar Kapoor to David Dhawan, isn't in the mood to let go of the guitar and all that it represents. "What I've really taken home from Rock On is some great friendships. It was such an experience to work with really new talent...everyone in the film was either fresh talent or new to me. And they turned out to be people who'll stay friends with me for keeps."
Arjun feels Rock On worked because of the camaraderie. "What you see is not faked. All of us, from the director Abhishek Kapoor to Farhan, Luke Kenny , Purab Kohli and me, we spent a lot of time together. We read the script together, spoke about each other's characters and just hung out. So by the time we faced the camera we looked like really good friends who have known one another for decades."
Is ROCK ON!! DIL CHAHTA HAI 2, one is tempted to ask. DIL CHAHTA HAI was a trendsetter when you look back, paving way for storytellers who wanted a new story to tell. Now, the DIL CHAHTA HAI team of Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar with director Abhishek Kapoor deliver ROCK ON!!, a film that makes you understand the true meaning of friendship.
Put your hands together for one of the finest films of our times. Put your hands together for a director who pulls off a challenging subject with élan. Put your hands together for the actors who pitch in superlative performances.
ROCK ON!! is not just about music. It's about relationships. And relationships can get really complicated and messy as all of us would agree. ROCK ON!! captures it so beautifully, so sensitively, so effectively on celluloid.
Arjun Rampal not just assumed the get-up of a rockstar, he also learnt to play the guitar for his role in this Friday’s release Rock On .
What appears to be India’s first credible film on rock music is ready to hit the theatres. It tells the story of a rock band that breaks up but reunites years later to rock the nation. Every single actor of the film - Farhan Akhtar , Arjun, Purab Kohli and Luke Kenny - had to actually learn to rock n’ roll before shooting the film.
While Farhan learnt singing, Luke (who’s always been into music) had to learn keyboards, and Purab had to learn the drums. But the toughest part of the band’s lead and rhythm guitarist went to Arjun.
Rock On Director: Abhishek Kapoor Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Luke Kenny, Prachi Desai Rating: *** and a half
Grab that popcorn, get the best seats in the house, sit back and enjoy the joyride called Rock On. Honest, unpretentious and entertaining, Rock On's the story of four collegians who have a rock band - Magik. These are a bunch of talented guys, with vocalist Aditya (Farhan), lead guitarist Joe (Arjun Rampal), drummer KD (Purab) and keyboardist Rob (Luke).
