The lead role is played by Ranbir Kapoor, with whom the Eros International worked recently on Anjaana Anjaani. The female lead will be played by Nargis Fakhri.[3] Other cast members include Piyush Mishra and Shammi Kapoor.

Filming

The shooting began in May 2010 and the film is scheduled to release on 11 November 2011. The major part of the shooting has took place at locations in kashmir at Kulgam, Kupwara, Srinagar and last phase has been shot in Delhi including, Kotla Mubarakpur, Nizamuddin Dargah, Greater Kailash, Munirka, Indira Gandhi International Airport, Madangir DDA and Connaught Place, and three-day schedule at the Shri Ram College of Commerce, St. Stephen's College, followed by one at the Hindu College, director Imtiaz Ali's alma mater, during the winter break of these colleges.[4] The film would also mark Shammi Kapoor's last appearance in a feature film who had died on August 14, 2011.[5] Film's costumes were designed by Aki Narula, who dressed lead Ranbeer in "small-town denim-and-sweater combination and later, pathani-style kurtas with arm bands" completing the rockstar look, as the designer said, "I dress the character in what the character can afford." [6]

Soundtrack

The music for the film is scored by A. R. Rahman replacing Imtiaz Ali's previous associate, Pritam. The soundtrack features 14 tracks overall,[7] with all lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil. Mohit Chauhan had lent his voice for nine songs. The audio rights were bought by T-Series.[8] According to Rahman, Rockstar is "a character driven film and as one can guess from the title, there will be lots of guitar".[9] Rockstar is a musical journey that sails through classical rock, ballads, Gujarati folk, the Sufi music and even a gypsy note from a unheard Czech tradition.[10] In an interview, Imtiaz Ali talked about what he told A. R. Rahman about the lead character of the film, "Hum Hum hain..tum tum ho..sahi be.."
