Ananya Panday, the rising star of Bollywood, is set to make her OTT debut with the highly anticipated series ‘Call Me Bae‘. The actress, known for her charming performances in films like ‘Student of the Year 2’ and ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’, has taken on a challenging role that has drawn comparisons to the iconic character of Poo from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham‘.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Ananya acknowledged the weight of the comparisons to Kareena Kapoor’s portrayal of Poo, a character beloved by generations of fans.”I don’t know if anyone can even come close to what Kareena [Kapoor] did with Poo,” she admitted. “So I would hope that is my dream, that people love Bella even half as much as they like Poo.”
The actress went on to explain how Poo had been an inspiration to her growing up, giving her confidence to be herself and not let anyone disrespect her. “If Bella can do that for so many young girls and boys out there, that’ll be a huge achievement,” she said.
Ananya’s performance in the ‘Call Me Bae’ trailer has already generated buzz, with her character’s transformation from a privileged heiress to a hustler determined to make her own way in the world. The series promises to explore themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of finding one’s voice in a world that often tries to silence it.
As Ananya celebrates her fifth year in Bollywood, ‘Call Me Bae’ represents a significant milestone in her career. The actress has proven her dedication to the craft, and fans are eagerly awaiting the series’ release on September 6, 2024.
In a world where the entertainment landscape is constantly evolving, Ananya Panday’s foray into the OTT space with ‘Call Me Bae’ is a testament to her ambition and willingness to take risks. With a talented ensemble cast that includes Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, and Vihaan Samat, the series promises to be a must-watch for fans of Ananya and those seeking a fresh, engaging story that challenges societal norms and celebrates the power of individuality.
The series, produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment and directed by Collin D’Cunha, promises to be a fresh take on the struggles of finding one’s place in the world.
