This mix of mainstream masala and urban OTT content has helped her stay visible to both single-screen and metro audiences.
Ananya Panday: Career Highlights & Popular Films
Ananya’s film journey started with Karan Johar’s Student of the Year 2 (2019), earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut and introducing her as a campus-movie favorite. The same year, Pati Patni Aur Woh showcased her comic timing opposite Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar and cemented her as a bankable young lead in rom-coms.
She then moved into slightly riskier, more emotional spaces with films like Gehraiyaan (2022) and Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan (2023), where her performances as conflicted, urban millennials drew better critical notes than her early work. In 2023’s Dream Girl 2, she returned to crowd-pleasing territory alongside Ayushmann Khurrana, while Liger kept her in pan-India conversations despite mixed response.
On OTT, her Prime Video series Call Me Bae (2024) let her lean fully into fashion-forward, Koffee-with-Karan-era millennial energy, reinforcing her as a style icon for young viewers. In 2025, Kesari Chapter 2 marks a major tonal shift—playing a fictional lawyer helping C. Sankaran Nair fight the British after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, she reportedly trained in Punjabi diction and shadowed real female lawyers to ground the role. Early commentary notes a more restrained performance, hinting at the direction she may take as she matures on screen.
