Ananya Panday is ready to step into the OTT world with Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming original series Call Me Bae.

The actor will play fashion police in the scripted series. Actor Varun Dhawan took to Instagram to share a fun video to announce the series on Thursday, which was also shared by Prime Video’s official Instagram account.

In the video, Panday can be seen seeking the blessings of Meryl Streep, whose iconic character Miranda Priestly is considered the originator of fashion police from the Hollywood film The Devil Wears Prada.

The promo introduces her as ‘Bae’, playing a fashion expert and schooling Dhawan for his lack of knowledge and ignorance when it comes to fashion.

The banter between them continues as he laughs at her for calling herself a fashion expert. He whispers how calling the designer Manish Malhotra ‘chachu’ doesn’t make you a fashion expert.

Dhawan then goes on to make fun of her for being too picky in a fashion which agitates her and she delivers a Meryl-inspired monologue to roast him.

Watch the video here:

Call Me Bae tells the story of a fashionista daughter to a billionaire father who is disowned by her family following a scandal. She goes on a journey to make a name for herself, fighting the stereotypes and exploring her true self.

Karan Johar also shared the video on his social media and wrote there is a new fashionista in town who is here to stay and definitely slay all the way.

Directed by Collin D’Cunha, the series is bankrolled by Dharmatic Entertainment, with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra as the executive producers. It is created by Ishita Moitra and written by her along with Samina Motlekar and Rohit Nair. Soon to be available on Prime Video, the series has just begun filming.

Singer Sonu Nigam’s sister filed a theft complaint with the Mumbai Police on Wednesday after Rs 72 lakh was stolen from their father Agamkumar Nigam’s home. The police have booked the former driver of the singer’s father on suspicion of theft.

The singer’s father, 72, lives at Windsor Grand building in Oshiwara, Andheri west, and alleged that the theft took place between March 19 and 20.

The theft case was filed by Nikita, the singer’s younger sister, at the Oshiwara Police Station in the early hours of Wednesday. Agamkumar named his ex-driver Rehan, who joined nearly eight months back, for stealing Rs 72 lakh from his residence because they removed him recently as his performance was not satisfactory.

Agamkumar in a complaint stated that on Sunday afternoon, he visited his daughter’s place in Versova for lunch. On returning, he found that Rs 40 lakh was missing from a digital locker kept in a wooden cupboard.

The next day, Agamkumar Nigam went to his son’s home at 7 Bungalows for some visa-related work and returned in the evening. He found another Rs 32 lakh missing from the locker, which was not damaged, said the official.

The official said that when Agamkumar Nigam and Nikita checked the CCTV footage of his society, they saw his former driver Rehan approaching his flat with a bag on both days when he was away.

The complainant accused Rehan of breaking into Agamkumar’s apartment with a duplicate key and stealing Rs 72 lakh from the digital locker in the bedroom.

Police are currently investigating the matter.

The Oscar nominee All That Breathes has finally been released in India. Shaunak Sen’s documentary was nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards and can now be seen at the OTT giant, Disney + Hotstar.

The run time of the documentary is 2 hours and it is streaming in the original Hindi-English mix only and is streaming from March 22. However, the documentary will only be available on the Disney+Hotstar platform till March 31, as it has ended its partnership with HBO as a cost-cutting measure. All the content owned by HBO will be removed from its library from April 1, 2023.

All That Breathes is about the story of two brothers, Mohammad Saud and Nadeem, who run a humble bird clinic in Delhi. They spend endless hours caring for fallen kites, helping the birds of prey to fly again. They have rescued over 20,000 injured birds in over two decades.

Shaunak Sen missed out on the Oscars and lost to Navalny but earlier he won the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival and the Golden Eye Award in the Best Documentary category at the Cannes Film Festival.

A few days ago, he had reacted to this loss and said that the team was low for a while. He had taken to Instagram to share a few pictures stating it was very difficult for him to wrap his brain around the fact that it was the end of this chapter.
