Karan Johar, Raj Thackeray - Wake Up Sid, Bombay Controversy
Friday, October 02, 2009
Filmmaker Karan Johar got a rude wake-up call Friday when Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists protested the use of 'Bombay' instead of Mumbai in his latest movie "Wake Up Sid" as soon as it was released. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma, is the latest offering from Dharma Productions Pvt Ltd.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan on Friday night disapproved of film maker Karan Johar apologising to MNS chief Raj Thackeray over the use of word 'Bombay' instead of 'Mumbai' in his just released film 'Wake Up Sid".
Going by the buzz and the hype that was created over the last few weeks around the film Wake Up Sid, it's quite obvious, that its makers left no stone unturned, when it came to the film's promotions. But the makers of the film surely must've not expected the film create controversy on day one itself.
