Where does this Karan stays man???Surprised if he dont have such a common sense, i doubt how he became such a big director, it may be now more than 10 years when Bombay was changed to Mumbai, today if we ask a small school going kid he knows this, this is purly a publicity stunt to promote his film "Wake Up Sid". what a cheap publicity KARAN??? he should not be let of so easily.. Shocked
