Download Wake Up... wallpapers Ayan Mukerji looks straight out of a university, but he's not. He's the debutante director of Karan Johar's talked-about, keenly-anticipated film WAKE UP SID. Barely in his 20s, Ayan belongs to the famed Mukerji clan and has assisted Ashutosh Gowaiker [SWADES] and Karan Johar [KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA] in the past, before he decided to take the plunge. WAKE UP SID is slated for release next week and Ayan is nervous. "Very, very nervous," he smiles, "I don't know how people would react to the film. This film is different." It sure is. Right from the casting to its plotline, Ayan has taken a completely new route in his debut film. In fact, this is also the first Karan Johar production that has been filmed entirely in Mumbai [Karan's films are shot in Europe or America]. "But WAKE UP SID is a Karan Johar product at heart," Ayan tells me. Ayan can't thank Karan enough for backing the project the moment he heard the story. "He took a call vis-a-vis producing the film within minutes of hearing the plot. Having him as the producer is only advantageous. He has been a marvellous guiding force," Ayan adds. What is Ayan planning next? "I've no clue. I haven't though of it at all. I feel exhausted after making this film and I feel I would need to nurture myself, read a book or two or travel before I plan my next film," he states.Sep 22, 2009

Bachchan versus Bachchan... again!
Looks like two Bachchan Sr. starrers will collide on same day. A couple of weeks ago, the makers of TEEN PATTI had officially announced the release date of their film [4th December]. On the other hand, the makers of PAA had confirmed November for their film. However, the makers of PAA decided to re-schedule the release date and have now confirmed 4th December, coinciding with the release of TEEN PATTI. The question is, will two Bachchan starrers arrive in the same week? In the past, SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA and CHEENI KUM had released on the same date. Prior to that, AETBAAR and KHAKEE had clashed on the same Friday. While on release dates, at least two actors may be biting their nails in anxiety. While WANTED has just released, Salman will have two more releases - MAIN AURR MRS. KHANNA and LONDON DREAMS in the same month, on 16th October and 30th October, respectively. The gap between these two biggies is barely two weeks. Similarly, Ranbir Kapoor will have one release every month, starting next month: WAKE UP SID arrives on 2nd October, AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI on 6th November, ROCKET SINGH - SALESMAN OF THE YEAR on 11th December and RAJNEETI on 22nd January.Kenyon 'proud' of Chelsea legacy
