When Karan tells Ananya that he is launching her, the actress replies that he has already launched her (Student of the Year 2). Rephrasing a dialogue from his film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Karan says, “Ananya ham ek baar jeete hai, ek baar marte hai, shaadi bhi ek hi baar hoti hai par launch to bar bar ho sakta hai na.”

When Ananya seems confused, Karan says that earlier he launched her in the movies, while this is her OTT launch.

The video also hints at the fun plotline of the film. When Ananya asks what she will be playing in the series, Karan says that she will be essaying a very challenging role- a rich girl from South Delhi. He further adds that Ananya will play a rich girl who loses everything, moves to Mumbai and struggles for everything.

The video ends with the reveal of Ananya’s character in Call Me Bae who is fashionable and does odd jobs to make a living in Mumbai.
