Bollywood Movie ' Rock On!! '' goes to the Oscars


This team is rocking internationally now. Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar’s Rock On directed by Abhishek Kapoor starring Farhan, Arjun Rampal, Luke Kenny and Purab Kohli, has made it to the Oscar Library. The film has garnered this prestigious honour from the Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the script will be part of the permanent script collection and will be made available for research to only actors, students, filmmakers and writers who are regular patrons.

Abhishek who has just come from Washington DC where the film was honoured at a recently concluded film festival Indian Vision, was in for a surprise when he got to know that his film has made it to the prestigious library. “Isn’t that great,” he asked. “When I conceptualised the film I knew that it was completely out of the box. And now it’s all out for the world to see. It feels really good,” said Abhishek. Ritesh too is beaming with joy. “I got an official letter from them stating that our film will be kept in their archives. It’s good that the world’s recognising Indian talent now,” said the young producer, who’s now ready with Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance.
