The glitz and glamour of Bollywood were on full display as stars from Tinsel Town gathered under one roof to celebrate Ananya Panday and the team behind the new series ‘Call Me Bae’. Among the star-studded guest list were exes Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan, who were once rumored to be dating during the filming of Imtiaz Ali’s 2020 film ‘Love Aaj Kal’.
The reunion of Kartik and Sara at the screening event in Mumbai caught the eyes of many. Kartik chose a casual look, donning a grey sweatshirt paired with trousers, while Sara opted for a chic black outfit, exuding elegance. Accompanying Sara was her younger brother Ibrahim Ali Khan, who reportedly shares a warm camaraderie with Kartik, making the reunion even more delightful for onlookers. Social media buzzed with excitement as videos and pictures of the trio started making rounds, providing fans with a glimpse of the cheerful interaction.
Ananya Panday, the star of the night, radiated joy as she welcomed several prominent figures from the industry. The screening event was nothing short of a grand celebration with numerous celebrities making their presence felt. Among the attendees were Suhana Khan, daughter of the King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan, and Gauri Khan. Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya, also marked his presence, adding a dash of legacy to the evening. Moreover, the event saw appearances from stars like Radhika Madan and Karishma Tanna, who added to the glittering affair.
‘Call Me Bae,’ Ananya’s latest venture, takes viewers on a journey through the life of a character named Bae, who initially leads a luxurious life in the heart of New Delhi. However, dramatic changes ensue as her family disowns her, forcing her to navigate the vibrant yet chaotic streets of Mumbai on her own. The show promises a captivating narrative, exploring themes of resilience and self-discovery against a backdrop of contrasting lifestyles.
While the buzz around ‘Call Me Bae’ was palpable, it was the encounter between Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan that captivated many. Their alleged romance during the making of ‘Love Aaj Kal’ had been the talk of the town.
. The film, a modern retelling of the 2009 classic, featured Sara’s father, Saif Ali Khan, and Deepika Padukone in lead roles, exploring love stories across two timelines. Despite the high expectations and the star-studded cast which included Randeep Hooda and Arushi Sharma, the 2020 version failed to make a mark at the box office.
As the screening event concluded, discussions about the professional trajectories of both Kartik and Sara became a hot topic. Kartik has wrapped up his work on ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, a highly anticipated film set for a Diwali 2024 release. This project is particularly exciting for fans as it marks Vidya Balan’s return to the popular franchise. The movie also features an impressive cast, including Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit Nene, promising a blend of horror, comedy, and drama.
Meanwhile, Sara Ali Khan is gearing up for Anurag Basu’s upcoming project, ‘Metro In Dino’. Co-starring Aditya Roy Kapur, the film draws its title and inspiration from the popular song ‘In Dino’ from Basu’s earlier hit, ‘Life in a… Metro’. The film aims to explore the intricate and often bittersweet relationships of modern times, offering a tapestry of human emotions and interactions set against contemporary urban life.
The ‘Call Me Bae’ screening not only offered a platform for celebrating Ananya Panday’s new project but also served as a reminder of the ever-evolving dynamics in Bollywood. With the presence of industry veterans, next-generation stars, and intriguing reunions, the event highlighted the close-knit yet ever-changing nature of the film fraternity.
As anticipation builds for Ananya’s new series and with both Kartik and Sara engrossed in their respective upcoming projects, Bollywood enthusiasts have much to look forward to. The confluence of past relationships, new beginnings, and cinematic ventures ensures that the world of Bollywood remains as captivating and dynamic as ever.
