The show, called Oye...It's Friday, will be a complete entertainment package including dance, drama, and comedy. For a few episodes
A source reveals, "Post Rock On!!, Farhan has been receiving a lot of offers for hosting shows but nothing has appealed to him. He was last seen as a judge in Nach Baliye: Season 1 and now one, will see him hosting an entertainment show. The show will be held weekly for an hour of cutting-edge humour and some news making guests. As per the format, after a few episodes, another celebrity will host the show." Farhan refused to comment on the show saying it was too early. However the Rock On!! actor says he is overwhelmed with the response he received for his Rock On!! for Humanity concert. He says, "I was extreme- ly happy with the turnout and the support I received from the industry. All the music companies from Tips, T-Series and Sony Music let us play their music without charging us anything for the copyrights." The concert collected around Rs 3.3 crores. He says, "We are waiting for the cheques to get cleared and we will be going on Novem-ber 21 to Bihar to hand over the cash and material collected so far." Maybe annually
Is he planning to hold more rock concerts? Farhan says, "I would want to hold something for charity annually but for entertainment purpose, we had shows in Kanpur and Delhi. We will soon be performing in Dubai and Bangalore too."
