Leaping from small to the big screen, the debutante sounded extremely excited.
"Working with the likes of Arjun Rampal, Farhan Akhtar, Luke Kenny and Purab Kohli has been an amazing experience. It has been a very different experience," Prachi told us.

Secondly, the film is full of life and music, which you do not generally get associated with. The characters are all so real. It was unbelievable. It is going to be my most memorable film."
Prachi, 20, was the youngest actor on the sets of Rock On.
"Yes I was but they never made me feel so. They have all treated me with the same attitude as the others. We all have experiences, some behind the camera and some on the camera but here we were all new. They were new because they were learning to play these new instruments and now they are all set to perform live all over the country. Our director Abhishek Kapoor is an actor turned director, whereas Farhan is a director turned actor. At the start of the day we would sit and discuss things and then begin our shoot."

He's done that with his looks too. He never interfered since he was acting for the first time too but yes he would come up with something interesting every day. It was a great experience" says Prachi.
Prachi is now looking forward to her next venture with Rumi Jaffrey - Life Partner.
"It's going to be something different again. It's a comedy being produced by Abbas Mustan. Tushar Kapoor is playing the lead opposite me" she concludes.
