Ananya Panday and Karan Johar have raised anticipation amongst fans by giving a sneak peek into the exciting world of Call Me Bae. Directed by Collin D’Cunha, the much-awaited web show is all set to mark the digital debut of the actress. While the show is poised to release on September 6, the makers have given an insight into the ‘launch’ of Bae.
Today, on August 14, a while back, Amazon Prime Video dropped a video in collaboration with Ananya Panday. The quirky video gives a glimpse of the set-up as the filmmaker prepares for the special ‘launch sequence’ of Bae. In the video, we can see the actress sitting in a spaceship while Karan Johar overlooks all the preparations.
He is further seen asking inquiring about "main character energy", "glam quotient", and "bank balance" while the CTRL actress interjects by asking what has he been doing. In his response, Karan tells her that he is preparing for her launch. The confused Ananya then reminds him that he has already launched her.
Making it even more dramatic, Karan quips, "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 (We live only once, we die only once, we get married only once but the launch can happen again)," further clarifying about her "OTT launch." In addition to this, he further reveals "awaiting coordinates" as Prime Video.

The filmmaker then gives a peek into the world of Bae and introduces fans to the actress' character. He humorously explains to the actress that she will be playing something new and challenging. Describing it as "a once-in-a-lifetime-role," he reveals that Ananya will be playing the role of a rich girl from South Delhi who comes to Mumbai and loses everything.
According to the promotional video, Ananya’s character struggles "like a regular person" in terms of finding a new job, friends, and much more. The audience will be in for a delightful watch in finding answers to questions that remain yet unanswered about the journey of her struggles.
