In exciting news for fans of Indian digital entertainment, the highly anticipated second season of the popular series 'Call Me Bae' has officially commenced production in Mumbai. The project has kicked off earlier than originally scheduled, bringing back the beloved character of 'Bae' portrayed by rising star Ananya Panday.
Production Timeline and Director's Return
Filming for Call Me Bae's second installment began earlier this week, surprising industry observers with its accelerated timeline. Initial reports had suggested that shooting would only start by late November, but insider information confirms that the production team is already hard at work in Mumbai's film studios.
The creative helm remains unchanged with director Collin D'Cunha returning to direct the new season. This reunion marks a significant homecoming for the entire team, who are coming together again after approximately one year since the first season's success.
Cast Reunion and Potential New Additions
The core ensemble cast from the first season is set to reprise their roles, ensuring continuity for the show's dedicated fanbase. Alongside Ananya Panday, viewers can expect to see familiar faces including Gurfateh Pirzada, Vir Das, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, and Niharika Lyra Dutt returning to their respective characters.
Production sources indicate that Ananya has already begun shooting her portions for the new season. She will soon be joined by co-star Vir Das and other principal cast members as the filming schedule progresses. While the main cast remains intact, there are strong indications that new characters might be introduced, though producers are keeping these potential additions tightly under wraps for now.
Series Format and Thematic Focus
Maintaining consistency with its predecessor, Call Me Bae Season 2 will consist of eight episodes, following the same format that resonated well with audiences in the first installment. The series, which beautifully blends comedy and drama elements, will continue to emphasize the powerful theme of sisterhood that formed the emotional core of the original season.
According to production insiders, the creative team aims to elevate the show to new heights, building upon the foundation established in the first season while introducing fresh narrative elements. The streaming platform and producers are reportedly ambitious about taking the series 'notches higher' in terms of storytelling, production values, and character development.
The new season is currently scheduled to premiere in the latter half of 2026, giving the team ample time for production, post-production, and strategic marketing rollout.
Ananya Panday's Expanding Portfolio
While dedicating time to Call Me Bae Season 2, Ananya Panday continues to build her diverse acting portfolio. Her upcoming project includes the romantic comedy 'Main Tera Tu Meri Tu Meri Main Tera', where she stars opposite popular actor Kartik Aaryan.
This film project promises to showcase a fresh on-screen chemistry between the lead pair, featuring heartwarming moments and an engaging storyline that has already generated significant anticipation among Bollywood enthusiasts. The simultaneous work on both projects demonstrates Ananya's growing stature in the Indian entertainment industry and her ability to balance different acting challenges.
The early commencement of Call Me Bae Season 2 filming indicates the production team's confidence in the franchise and their commitment to delivering quality content to the audience without unnecessary delays.
