Debutant director Ayaan Mukherjee admits his Wake Up Sid is about a younger man dating an older woman but he is appalled by rumours that it revolves around a handsome guy and a not-so-good looking girl.
A few months ago, a nineteen year old Ayan Mukherjee approached Karan Johar with a short and simple script that he might have written during his college classes. Karan Johar was sold on the freshness and youth quotient of the script and catapulted a young boy to the director of ‘Wake Up Sid’. The story revolves around a lazy, unmotivated Mumbaikar Siddharth Mehra ( Ranbir Kapoor ). Sid lives a carefree, responsibility less, superficial life until he bumps into an aspiring writer from Kolkata, Aisha Bannerjee (Konkona Sen Sharma).
With Ayan’s unusual yet peppy pairing of Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona, the film aspires to spread the charm of Youngistan in Bollywood. Such a young star cast and director also ensures that the film is high on energy and entertainment.
With exciting and very relatable trailers ‘Wake Up Sid’ is already showing signs of becoming a rage with the young and promises to be a grosser at the box office too.
