Farhan Akhtar's character in the film, Aditya Shroff, is the protagonist and the impetus behind the band's reunion. He was a former rock star who turned to banking after leaving the music industry. Aditya decides to follow his passion for music after feeling dissatisfied in his current position. Aditya is portrayed by Farhan Akhtar as a multifaceted character who struggles to strike a balance between his obligations and his aspirations in a nuanced portrayal.
Joe Mascarenhas, portrayed by Arjun Rampal, is the band's guitarist and its most successful member. He is a wealthy nightclub owner who is still troubled by the band's dissolution in the past. Joe is a quiet, moody character who finds it difficult to move on from the past. Arjun Rampal gives a strong performance that gives the role dimension and makes him one of the movie's most recognisable figures.
Kedar Zaveri, well known by his stage name KD, is the drummer of the band and is also its friendliest and carefree member (Purab Kohli plays KD). He has a wicked sense of humour and is always up for having fun. KD is a dependable buddy as well, and his laid-back demeanour keeps the group grounded. Purab Kohli delivers an excellent performance, infusing the character with a lot of heart and humor.
Luke Kenny's character, Rob Nancy, is the keyboardist for the band and is also its most reserved and sensitive member. He is a reserved individual who finds it difficult to communicate his feelings and is frequently overshadowed by the other band members. Luke Kenny gives a quiet but powerful performance that endears us to Rob and humanises him.
Prachi Desai portrays Sakshi Shroff, who is married to Aditya and a prominent interior designer. Although she supports Aditya's musical endeavours, she battles envy and insecurities of her own. Prachi Desai gives a strong performance that gives the character nuance and contributes to the emotional core of the movie.
