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.

Karan says, “Ananya, you live once, die once, marry once but launch can happen many times. Darling, that was Bollywood launch, this is OTT launch.” Later, she asks about her character, Karan points out, “Something new, challenging. Ek aisa role jo tumne life me nahi kiya (A role which you haven't played so far).”

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.”
