Mumbai: Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar celebrated a memorable milestone as his cult musical drama Rock On!! completed 17 years.
The actor, singer, and filmmaker shared his joy on Instagram by reposting a note from Excel Entertainment, the film’s production house. The caption read: “The band, the beats, the bond. Celebrating 17 years of Rock On!!”
Released in 2008, Rock On!! was directed by Abhishek Kapoor and followed the story of four friends who reunite years later through their shared love for music. The film not only brought a fresh musical flavor to Bollywood but also marked Farhan Akhtar’s acting and singing debut. Its soundtrack—featuring tracks like Rock On!!, Pichle Saat Dinon Mein, and Tum Ho Toh—remains a fan favorite even today.
On the work front, Farhan is gearing up for his upcoming film 120 Bahadur.
Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, and Amit Chandrra, the film is inspired by the legendary Battle of Rezang La. It pays tribute to the 120 soldiers of Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment, who valiantly fought against nearly 3,000 Chinese troops.
The teaser offers a glimpse of Farhan as Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, a Param Vir Chakra awardee who led Indian forces in the battle. The visuals also showcase the soldiers’ unyielding spirit on the frontlines.
Shot across Ladakh, Rajasthan, and Mumbai, 120 Bahadur is slated for a theatrical release on November 21, 2025.
