Mumbai, Aug 27 - Debutant director Ayaan Mukherjee admits his 'Wake Up Sid' is about a younger man dating an older woman but he is appalled by rumours that it revolves around a handsome guy and a not-so-good looking girl.

'All I can tell you is that this marketing pitch didn't come from me or Karan (Johar). You think I'd dare to call my heroine, who I think is awesome, not good-looking?' Mukherjee asked angrily.

Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma, the romantic comedy is produced by Karan Johar and is scheduled for release Oct 2.

'It came from a Facebook 'Wake Up Sid' fan club started on the website. Someone just saw Ranbir and Konkona together and decided to draw their own conclusions...To me Konkona is at the moment the most gorgeous woman I've met. In fact, my last shot was with her and I just couldn't stop gawking,' Mukherjee, who is actress Kajol's cousin, told IANS.

So is 'Wake Up Sid' about an older woman in love with a younger man?

'Yes, Konkona's character Ayesha is a few years older than the guy. But it's not 'Summer Of 42', please! Nor is the age difference concealed here as it was between Ranbir and Bipasha in 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'. What happened was that we wrote in the age difference because I wanted only these two to be in my film.

'When I saw Ranbir in 'Saawariya', I knew this was my Sid.
