Wake Up Sid controversy; Karan Johar apologises to Raj Thackeray

Going by the buzz and the hype created over the last few weeks around Wake Up Sid, it is 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 not have expected the film to create controversy on day one itself.

MNS (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) party activists disrupted the screening of the Ranbir-Konkona starrer in some cinema halls in Mumbai and Pune. The reason? Well, they were objecting to the use of 'Bombay' instead of 'Mumbai' in the film. Latest reports have it that the film's producer Karan Johar went to meet MNS chief Raj Thackeray to sort out the matter and also apologized for referring to 'Mumbai' as 'Bombay' in the film. He further said that a disclaimer will now be carried in the beginning of the film.

Wake Up Sid stars Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher and Supriya Pathak and is directed by Ayan Mukerji.
