Bollywood actress Prachi Desai has rubbished reports that she is miffed with the makers of Rock On!! 2 because the film is being projected as a love story between the characters of Farhan Akhtar and Shraddha Kapoor.
There were reports that the Azhar actress, along with her co-stars Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli, were upset that the musical-drama.
Asked about the rumours, Desai said, “As far as I know, none of the three of us have come up with that, none of us gave quotes on it. The rumour is simply funny. It is probably just people working overtime.

“May be the [love-story angle] is something that the journalists are feeling themselves, they are noticing that which apparently we are not noticing. They actually missed seeing us (on sets). You have to look at it that way and laugh it off,” she said.
The actress made her Bollywood debut eight years ago with Rock On!! and was absolutely delighted when she got to know that the film will be having a sequel.
Desai, who played Akhtar’s wife Sakshi in Rock On!!, came on board instantly for the sequel.
“I was apprehensive about doing it because I play a very mature part. Honestly speaking, if it wasn’t for my emotional attachment to Rock On!!, you would not see me play such a mature role in any other film,” she said.
“It is an emotional decision to be a part of Rock On!! 2 because I was part of the first one too. I cannot see any other girl play my role, I can’t see anyone else taking that forward,” said Desai.
The 28-year-old actress added that Rock On!! 2 is not a conventional sequel, and instead carefully follows the journey of all the characters who have transformed over the period of eight years.
“I have no idea what a woman in Sakshi’s situation must feel. It has been the most unrelatable role for me. Whatever intelligent, emotional quotient we have, if in my understanding I can invest all of that and pull it off, then it will be great,” said Desai.
Shujat Saudagar makes his directorial debut with Rock On!! 2, out in the UAE on November 10.
