Call Me Bae Trailer: The trailer of Call Me Bae released on Tuesday. The series marks Ananya’s OTT series debut. The trailer revealed that Ananya will be seen in a colourful avatar, trying to live the bougie life in Mumbai. Ananya plays the role of a youngster from South Delhi who lands in Mumbai after her husband seemingly loses their money.
Landing in Mumbai, she is forced to survive in a house which has a leaking roof, travel in autos and find a job. She eventually gets hired in a newsroom with Vir Das as a boss. Grumpy, stern and seemingly focusing on hard news, Vir dismisses Ananya in the first go. The series will follow Ananya’s struggles and shed light on her survival skills.
Watch the trailer below:
The trailer brings back memories of Two Broke Girls, an American television sitcom which starred Kat Dennings as Max Black and Beth Behrs as Caroline Channing. The basic premise of the American show and the new series are similar.
Call Me Bae is a Dharmatic Entertainment production, with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra as executive producers. The series is written by Ishita Moitra, Samina Motlekar, and Rohit Nair, and directed by Collin D’Cunha. This 8-part series stars Ananya Panday in the lead role, supported by an ensemble cast including Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra, and Mini Mathur.
Speaking about the show, Ananya said, “From the get go, I knew Call Me Bae was a project I wanted to be a part of. Even without having heard the script I knew this was going to be something special. As an actor, it is always exciting and rewarding to play a multi-layered character like Bae. There’s more to Bae than what meets the eye and that is what makes her journey from heiress to hustler, compelling and intriguing."
“Despite the challenges she faces, she remains true to herself, retaining her innocence and zest for life. This authenticity is what drew me to the role. This is my first long format original series and I couldn’t have asked for a better director than Collin or a more supportive cast. I am thrilled to be collaborating with Prime Video and Dharmatic Entertainment for the series and I’m looking forward to introducing Bae to audiences worldwide from September 6," she added.
Call Me Bae is set to release on Amazon Prime Video on September 6.
