Konkona Sen recently shared her experience working on Wake Up Sid with Bollywood Hungama. She said, “Well, that was a long time ago, and we had a wonderful experience. It was the first time I worked with Ranbir Kapoor, and he wasn’t such a big star then—he had just done Saawariya. He was a young actor who was very invested, and even very knowledgeable in terms of behind-the-scenes information.” Konkona added that it was also her first time working with Anil Mehta, the cinematographer. “Later, I acted in a film he directed. It was really a wonderful meeting of minds,” she added.
