In a Zoom chat with fans, Ranbir Kapoor was asked about the most memorable project he has worked on. Ranbir fondly recalled Wake Up Sid, his third film after Saawariya and Bachna Ae Haseeno, where he met his now-best friend, Ayan Mukerji.
Reflecting on the experience, Ranbir shared that the movie made him realize that in cinema, one can also play characters. He said, “You don't only have to play the hero.” Ranbir also disclosed that this realization had a significant impact on his choices and decisions for future movies.
Ranbir emphasized the importance of connecting with characters and selecting roles that resonate with the youth. He noted that people who watched Wake Up Sid during its release were in a different phase of life, and revisiting the film evokes a sense of nostalgia for that period.
Ranbir considered the common experience of confusion in life, saying, “Because at some point we all were confused. We all were in a state where we didn't know what to do with our lives.”
During the interaction, Ranbir Kapoor disclosed that he shot Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Wake Up Sid at the same time. Ranbir said, “It's the only time I have done 2 films together and it was very confusing.”
He expressed that playing the character of lazy Sid on one hand and doing over-the-top comedy on the other was challenging, as they belonged to different worlds. He shared that this experience prompted him to adopt a slower pace, focusing on one film at a time.
The 2009 film Wake Up Sid, directed by Ayan Mukerji, featured Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma in lead roles. On the other hand, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, also released in 2009, starred Ranbir alongside Katrina Kaif.
