Ananya Panday plays hustler in her relaunch project

Karan teased the audiences with Ananya Panday's OTT launch as a hustler from South Delhi.

The video starts with Ananya waiting in the studio as Karan reaches out to her. When the filmmaker tells her that he is about to launch her, she reminds him that she already made her debut iwith his film (Student of the Year 2). Karan says, “Ananya, you live once, die once, marry once but launch can happen many times. Darling, that was Bollywood launch, this is OTT launch.” When the actor asked about her character, Karan points out, “Something new, challenging. Ek aisa role jo tumne life me nahi kiya (A role which you haven't played so far).”

As Ananya wonders if she is playing “a poor-girl from Mirzapur,” he tells her that she portrays a rich-girl from South Delhi. When she reminds him that she has played such characters several times, he opines, “You are a rich girl who loses everything. You have to go to Mumbai and struggle for everything, like a regular person.” The video ends with glimpses from Call Me Bae where Ananya's character is seen hustling with life in Mumbai on her own.
