Wake Up Sid Press Conferenc

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.

Dil Bole Hadippa

Veera (Rani Mukherjee) is a fire-cracker of a girl who lives in a small village but dreams in 70mm. She works in a local theatre group but dreams of playing cricket in the big league. Yes, believe it or not, she wants to play with Tendulkar and Dhoni for India.

Dil Bole Hadippa

While Veera dreams on in India, Rohan (Shahid Kapoor) is an accomplished captain of a county cricket team in England. Rohan returns to India to captain his father’s cricket team which has been losing consecutively for the last 8 years.

In a village where girls don’t play cricket, Veera has to put on a turban and beard and become a man to fulfill her dreams. Her brilliance on the field earns her a place in Rohan’s team and Veera Kaur becomes Veer Pratap Singh.

And then begins a roller-coaster journey of Veera, Rohan and Veer filled with music, romance and comedy through Punjab and beyond.
