Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment shared the release date of the much awaited project on his Twitter.

"Hello sharing the release date of #RockOn2. 11/11/2016 @FarOutAkhtar @rampalarjun @ShraddhaKapoor @Purab_Kohli @ShujaatSaudagar," he wrote.

The major portion of the film is being shot in Shillong.

Actress Shraddha Kapoor is the new addition to the cast that already has Prachi Desai and Purab Hersh Kohli reprising their roles.

The 26-year-old "ABCD 2" actress will lent her voice along with Farhan, 41, for the original soundtrack of the film.
 

"Rock On 2", which was co-written by helmer of the first film Abhishek Kapoor along with Pubali Chaudhary, was dragged to court by Kapoor asking for credit as joint writer after Excel Entertainment decided to not repeat him as the director in the sequel.

After suggestion by Bombay High Court, the company promoted by Farhan Akhtar, consented to give credit to Kapoor.
