Director Abhishek Kapoor, who had made his debut through Rock On, has filed a case against Excel Entertainment, which is owned by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani for not being credited for the script of Rock On's sequel.
According to a report published in Mumbai Mirror, Abhishek Kapoor had been working on the script of the sequel since September 2011 along with Pubali Chaudhuri. The two regularly exchanged emails while developing the concept. But now, Excel has solely credited the latter for the script.
In the lawsuit filed, Abhishek blames Pubali for the breach of trust and has requested court to stall the making if the film.
In the lawsuit Kapoor mentions that he wrote an email to Pubali which read, "heard about Excel making Rock On 2. Have they contacted you? I have a feeling they would want to make our script." But Pubali reverted saying that she was unwell and that she would discuss the same with Kapoor on a later date. On the same day, she went ahead to get the script registered by the Film Writer's Association.
Farhan AkhtarThe film slated to go on floors in August stars Farah Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and Shraddha Kapoor.
When Farhan Akhtar was asked about this at an event he said, "I would much rather the court decide since its gone there. I have nothing to say. He's a friend of mine and I don't want to talk about him in public."
