Farhan Akhtar Travelled Across Northeast India And UK To Prepare For His Role In Rock On 2!

To prepare for his role in his upcoming film, which is a sequel to Rock On!! (2008), Farhan Akhtar has been busy researching for a long time. Reportedly, the musicianactor travelled with his band earlier this year, and performed in various cities in India and abroad. Now, we have been told that he also took a two-month break before he started shooting for the film recently. A source close to Farhan says that he travelled alone to Shillong (Meghalaya) and the United Kingdom (UK) to prepare for his role (he will play a musician in the film).

 “He went to Shillong and a few other places in the northeast in August. He attended concerts by local bands there. Since the film will be shot extensively in Shillong, Farhan thought it was important for him to understand the music of the region. After that, he visited the UK.” Apparently, Farhan spent over a month in the UK. “He visited John Lennon’s house, and also attended a concert by David Gilmour (musician), apart from attending around seven other gigs by local bands there. He enjoyed watching a variety of Indian and international artistes perform,” says the source, adding that the Bollywood actor returned to India last week. “He started shooting in Shillong [for the sequel] on October 5. The film’s first schedule will be over a month long,” says the source.
