The show’s teaser has actor Varun Dhawan who in a fun and entertaining way introduces the show to the audience. In the video, she is schooling Varun Dhawan with some of her fashion advice about colour monologue styling, bright colour combinations.
The teaser shows Ananya Pandey being confused between two blue belts. She was then interrupted by a mocking laughter by Varun Dhawan which brought out the inner Miranda Priestly (the character played by Meryl Streep in the famous show ‘The Devil Wears Prada’. She started to roast him by saying how his ‘unpaid intern’ packed the boring blue boxers of his. To calm her down Varun calls her Meryl Pandey and tells that she will do complete justice to the show ‘Call me bae’.
The video received numerous comments which stated their love for this cute banter between Varun and Ananya. While some loved and congratulated the lead actor for the show, some criticized her for comparing herself to Miranda Streep from ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.
‘Call me bae’ will also have Gurfateha Pirzada apart from Ananya and Vir Das.
