A short clip featuring Ranbir Kapoor reprising his iconic role as ‘Sid’ in the 2009 hit film Wake Up Sid has set the internet ablaze, sparking speculation about a potential sequel.
In the clip that has gone viral on various social media platforms, Sid is seen dozing off on his lawn until his mom’s urgent shout wakes him up with the words, “Sid, wake up! It’s Rishi’s day.” As the movie’s iconic song plays in the background, Sid wakes up with a smile, a teasing text on screen asks, “Is the gang back?”
The excitement reached new heights when renowned filmmaker Karan Johar, who produced Wake Up Sid, shared the clip on his Instagram with a caption that fueled speculation further. He wrote,
Is this really happening? All I know is something exciting is brewing and I couldn’t have woken up to a better piece of news 👀🤯
Behind-the-scenes pictures of Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma, who played pivotal roles in the original film, have also surfaced online, intensifying rumors of a potential sequel. However, neither the actors nor Ayan Mukerji, the director of the original film, have officially confirmed or denied the speculations.
While fans eagerly await confirmation about the sequel, several Indian news portals have reported that the viral clip is part of a promotional campaign for an undisclosed advertisement, adding a layer of mystery to the unfolding story.
Released in 2009, Wake Up Sid was a refreshing romantic comedy that depicted the complexities of adulthood. The film received widespread acclaim for its portrayal of Sen Sharma’s responsible and independent character, providing a stark contrast to Kapoor’s carefree persona. The movie also featured seasoned actors Anupam Kher and Supriya Pathak in significant roles.
Both Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma have seen success in their recent endeavors, with Kapoor basking in the glory of his latest release, Animal, and Sen Sharma receiving critical acclaim for her role in The Mirror, part of Lust Stories 2 released in 2023.
As the speculation around the ‘Wake Up Sid’ sequel continues to gain momentum, fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement from the filmmakers.
