The cast of the 2009 coming-of-age romance film Wake Up Sid reunited in January 2024, and the videos went viral on the internet. The internet was hoping to get a sequel to the film. Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Namit Das, and Shikha Talsania did reprise their roles, however, not for a movie but for an Oppo 11 commercial advertisement.
The ad takes the viewer into a future where Sid (Kapoor) is now a photographer, capturing his love Aisha (Konkona) and friend Rishi (Das) getting engaged to Laxmi (Talsania).
The cast of Son Pari starring Tanvi Hegde as Fruity, Mrinal Kulkarni as Son Pari, and Ashok Lokhande as Atlu reunited after 24 years taking the audience on a trip down memory lane when the adventure-fantasy show from the 2000s was a staple watch every day.
