A trailer has been released for the Prime Video India series Call Me Bae, starring Ananya Panday. The eight-part series also features Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra and Mini Mathur.
The Hindi-language series on Prime Video also offers dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. Directed by Collin D’Cunha and created by Ishita Moitra, Call Me Bae was produced by Dharmatic Entertainment with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra as executive producers.
“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,” Panday said. “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.”
Nikhil Madhok, head of originals at Prime Video India, said: “At Prime Video, we strive to bring stories that spark conversations. Call Me Bae is a charming yet insightful series that highlights the significance of self-discovery in overcoming life’s challenges, all told through the journey of a character that will enthrall and endear, brought to life by Ananya in the most spectacular fashion.
“Our long-standing partnership with Dharmatic Entertainment has been a rewarding one, and collaborating with them again on Call Me Bae has been fantastic.”
Call Me Bae will begin streaming worldwide on September 6th. Check out the trailer below:
