'Wake Up Sid' sequel or Ad? Karan Johar's social media post leaves netizens guessing

Recently, Bollywood enthusiasts were sent into a frenzy when a video of Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma was circulating online, sparking debates about 'Wake Up Sid 2'. Karan Johar today shared a video featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Konkana Sen Sharma, igniting speculation about a possible sequel to the 2009 hit film Wake Up Sid. However, hopes were dashed as it turns out the video was not a teaser for the anticipated Wake Up Sid 2 but rather a promotional ad.

The video, posted by Karan Johar on his social media, showcased Ranbir Kapoor waking up to the soothing voice of Konkana Sen Sharma, who affectionately calls him Sid. Karan captioned the post expressing his excitement, "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."

The snippet quickly gained traction, fueling rumors of a sequel to the much-loved film. However, fans soon realized that their hopes had been misled, and disappointment set in as they discovered the video was merely a promotional ad. Some expressed their frustration, with one fan commenting, "Don't play with us like this," while another wrote, "Yall played with my heart! It's an AD, and here I thought for a second that there's a sequel happening."

Despite the collective dismay, there were fans who, even though recognizing it as an ad, expressed their desire for a continuation of Sid and Aisha's story. A netizen commented, "I know it's just an ad, but actually, I'd love to see Sid & Aisha's life 15 years down the line."

Wake Up Sid, directed by Ayan Mukerji, was a significant success upon its release in 2009.
