The actor-director duo that created magic on screen for the first time with Rock On in 2008 is all set to come back together for a film that has been penned down by none other than Javed Akhtar. Farhan Akhtar and Abhishek Kapoor, who had a falling out after Rock On 2 when the makers decided not to give Kapoor writing credits for the film, have now let old things be bygone and decided to work together again.
A source close to the duo was quoted as telling the media, “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.”
It is also believed that Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani actually 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” the same source added.
Abhishek is currently working on Kedarnath, which is Sara Ali Khan’s launch vehicle and also stars Sushant Singh Rajput. 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.
We wish the duo good luck!
