Ananya Panday Takes First AD Role on ‘Call Me Bae’ Set

Actor Ananya Panday, busy with her upcoming project ‘Call Me Bae,’ recently teased her fans with an exciting update. The ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ actress took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to share a monochrome picture, revealing that she has taken on the role of the first Assistant Director (AD) on set. She captioned the photo, “Taking over the first AD job on set today.”

‘Call Me Bae,’ Ananya’s much-anticipated OTT debut, is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video soon. Last month, Karan Johar announced on Instagram that the series would begin streaming on September 6, sharing a fresh poster featuring Ananya in a red and white outfit, sitting on suitcases and staring down at the camera.

In ‘Call Me Bae,’ Ananya leads the cast as Bella Bae Chowdhary, alongside Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra, and Mini Mathur. The series is produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra as Executive Producers. Written by Ishita Moitra, Samina Motlekar, and Rohit Nair, and directed by Collin D’Cunha, ‘Call Me Bae’ tells the story of Bae, who transitions from heiress to hustler, discovering her most valuable assets are her street smarts and style.

Besides ‘Call Me Bae,’ Ananya Panday is gearing up for other exciting projects, including ‘Control’ and ‘The Untold Story of C Sankaran Nair.’ Fans eagerly await her performances in these upcoming ventures.
