Introduction
Over a decade after starring together in the coming-of-age drama Wake Up Sid, Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma have reprised their beloved roles in a new advertisement campaign. The ad recreats the iconic ‘bread and jam’ scene from the 2009 film that explored the themes of love, friendship, and growing up in Mumbai.
Ad Brings Back Sid and Aisha
The new ad features Ranbir as Sid and Konkona as Aisha in a recreation of the scene where Sid makes a midnight snack of bread and jam. With emotive background music playing, the two chat lightly as Sid prepares multiple slices of bread, applies generous amounts of jam, and convinces a hesitant Aisha to try it.
Their easy chemistry and rapport transport viewers back to the world of Wake Up Sid and the endearing relationship between Sid and his older friend Aisha who guides him through a pivotal journey of self-discovery.
