Call Me Bae: Ananya Panday Is All Set For ‘Regular People Struggle’, Karan Johar Teases Her OTT Launch

Ananya Panday and filmmaker Karan Johar are collaborating on a new project, 'Call Me Bae', together once again.

After ‘Gehraiyaan’, actor Ananya Panday and filmmaker Karan Johar are collaborating on a new project together once again. Before releasing the trailer of the show, the actor-director recently gave fans a tongue-in-cheek teaser. 

As the clip begins, Ananya is seen waiting in the studio while Karan approaches her. She reminds him that she made her debut with his film ‘Student of the Year 2’. The actor questions his offer to launch her again.

At this point, Ananya wonders if she is playing “a poor-girl from Mirzapur”. Karan clarifies that she will portray a rich-girl from South Delhi. When she reminds him that she has played such characters a few times, he says, “You are a rich girl who loses everything. You have to go to Mumbai and struggle for everything, like a regular person.”
