After the release of her latest film, she recorded the unplugged version of Bezubaan Phir Se.

Shraddha will be training professionally for the first time for the sequel of rock musical drama, Rock On. “I like singing but I never trained before Rock On 2 happened. For this film, I am training in rock genre,” says Shraddha, adding that she is very excited to work with actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar. “I am very excited to work with Farhan. I have been a fan of his movies, direction, acting and voice. He is one of the most talented, fearless and inspiring people we have in the industry today. I am extremely happy about doing a film with him,” she says.

Shraddha visited North East for a recce with the film’s crew and has already started working on the film’s music with Farhan, who became a singing sensation after Rock On. “Farhan and I were practising a song recently. It was lovely. He is so funny and so passionate about what he does,” she says. The sequel will also see Arjun Rampal, Prachi Desai, Shahana Goswami reprising their roles. Director Abhishek Kapoor will not return for the sequel.
