Abhishek Kapoor바카라s 2008 musical drama film 바카라Rock On!바카라 emerged to be a critical and commercial success. It featured an ensemble cast including Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli and Luke Kenny, and was also backed by Farhan. 

During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Abhishek recently shared that Farhan never interfered with his vision as a director during the film바카라s production, as the former was an established filmmaker himself, having directed 바카라Dil Chahta Hai바카라, 바카라Don바카라 and 바카라Lakshya바카라.

Talking about Farhan바카라s reaction to seeing the first cut of the film, Abhishek said, 바카라The first person who saw the film was Farhan. I was not in town, I was in Cannes and he had seen the cut and he was really happy. It meant everything to me because I have a lot of love and respect for Farhan. I have learnt a lot from him. And he never interfered while I was making the film. He knew he was the producer and he helped me do whatever I wanted to do but he never got in my way of expressing what I wanted to in the film. At the end of it, when he did see the film, he called me and said, 바카라I saw the film and I loved it바카라. That meant everything to me.바카라

The film not only got critical appreciation, but also witnessed box office success. However, when 바카라Rock On 2바카라 was announced, it was expected that Abhishek would return as the director again. However, Shujaat Saudagar directed the sequel. 

Talking about it, Abhishek shared how there were disagreements between him and Farhan, and he still hasn바카라t seen the sequel. 바카라Actually Rock On 2, I didn바카라t write the entire script. I was writing the frame of it but there were some disagreements (with Farhan Akhtar) on how we should proceed. So we both felt that it's better this way and they decided to go ahead with somebody else,바카라 Abhishek said.

Abhishek further confessed how he has now moved on from the experience despite being hurt. 바카라It hurts but these are all experiences in life that make you richer eventually. I haven바카라t seen it, so I don바카라t know what바카라s missing in it or what could have been better. I was hurt but life moves on from there,바카라 he said.

Post 바카라Rock On바카라, Abhishek went on to direct 바카라Kai Po Che!바카라, 바카라Fitoor바카라, 바카라Kedarnath바카라 and 바카라Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui바카라.
