Farhan Akhtar, Abhishek Kapoor to reunite post Rock On!!

Farhan Akhtar and Abhishek Kapoor came together for the first time and created the cult movie Rock On!! The audience expected the two to reunite for the sequel. Unfortunately, the collaboration never happened, and Abhishek even had to knock on the doors of the court to get the writing credit for the sequel. However, the court case did not take a toll on their relationship. Now, it’s Abhishek, who has been approached to direct a movie that has been penned by Farhan’s father, renowned writer and poet, Javed Akhtar. “Farhan and Abhishek’s collaboration won them a National Award. They made a great team. It won’t be a surprise if the two come together soon,” says a source.

The movie will be produced by Excel Entertainmen. Reveals the source, “Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani want Abhishek to direct the film. Though not much is known at this stage, the two recently met Abhishek to discuss the film with him. They are keen that he directs the film as they feel the subject is something that would be very apt for him.” Abhishek has now started work on his ambitious project Kedarnath, which is Sara Ali Khan’s launch vehicle and also stars Sushant Singh Rajput, his Kai Po Che hero. Farhan, in the meanwhile, is slated to act in a movie with Sanjay Dutt, which will be produced by Ajay Devgn. The movie will be directed by Nishikant Kamat and is expected to go on floors by October. Considering the fact that they both will be busy with their projects now, if their dates align well, Farhan and Abhishek just might be able to reunite for this venture.
