Karan Singh Grover, Shaan and Vasundhara Das in Rocks India

Call it the Rock On effect! Rock music in India has never attracted so much attention since the success of Farhan Akhtar starrer 2008 film Rock On. Our GECs too have now realised the need to tap talented rock stars of the country. A few days after MTV came up with Rock On, Colors is bringing rock music to its stable with Rocks India. Rocks India is produced by noted actor-RJ Roshan Abbas’ Encompass Events Pvt Ltd. Singers Shaan and Vasundhara Das have been roped in as the judges while TV hunk Karan Singh Grover is the anchor for the show. There’ll also be a female anchor who is still to be finalised. Rocks India goes in air from 27 September and will air every Sunday at 8.00 pm. “It’s time for India to Rock right back. We will find Desi tunes and Desi dudes with attitude at the Rocks India this time. With Shaan, Vasundhara and music, we can’t go wrong. Karan Singh Grover is the host while we’ll decide on a female anchor in a week’s time,” said producer Roshan Abbas. For the last three consecutive years Rocks India has been entertaining the fans with its successful concert tours in Indian cities, packed with performances by the likes of Salman Khan, Lara Dutta, Bipasha Basu, Kareena Kapoor, Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan, and Sonu Nigam. This year Rocks India will traverse the length and breadth of the country to discover the best musicians. The auditions will be held across ten cities in the country starting from Chandigarh on 2 September.
