Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14 : Actor Ananya Panday is all set to come up with her OTT show titled 'Call Me Bae'.
On Wednesday, the makers dropped a new promotional video that features Ananya with producer Karan Johar.
In the clip, Ananya is seen sitting in a spaceship while Karan Johar can be heard instructing everyone. He asks about her 'main character energy,' 'glam quotient,' and 'bank balance.'
Ananya interrupts, asking what he is doing.
Karan said that he is preparing for her launch and added a touch of humour to it by saying, "Hum ek baar jeete hain, ek baar marte hain, shaadi bhi ek hi baar hoti hai, par launch to baar baar ho sakta hai na."
