“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.
