Mumbai, August 14
Actor Ananya Panday is all set to come up with her OTT show titled 'Call Me Bae'.
On Wednesday, the makers dropped a new promotional video that features Ananya with producer Karan Johar.
In the clip, Ananya is seen sitting in a spaceship while Karan Johar can be heard instructing everyone. He asks about her 'main character energy,' 'glam quotient,' and 'bank balance.'
Ananya interrupts, asking what he is doing.
Karan said that he is preparing for her launch and added a touch of humour to it by saying, "Hum ek baar jeete hain, ek baar marte hain, shaadi bhi ek hi baar hoti hai, par launch to baar baar ho sakta hai na."

In a light-hearted take, the video humorously highlights Ananya's part as Bae. The video shows a beaming Ananya as she discusses her character with Karan.
Excited about not playing the bougie princess that she always is, Ananya is looking forward to Bae's 'regular person struggle' - just a former South Delhi heiress, hustling and bustling in the city of dreams - Mumbai!
She is seen lively and passionately discussing her new role with Karan. Often typecast as a high-class princess, Ananya is thrilled this time by the shift in character. She inches towards portraying Bae - a once wealthy heiress from South Delhi, now dealing with everyday hustle and bustle in Mumbai.
The trailer of 'Call Me Bae' will be out on August 20.
