Ananya Panday returns in the comedy-drama series, while Alia Bhatt produces a new coming-of-age film, as Prime Video spotlights global originals through 2026.
Prime Video spotlighted its expanding international slate at the inaugural Prime Video Presents: International Originals showcase in London, with India’s Call Me Bae Season 2 and Don’t Be Shy as key titles from India.
The event was introduced by Kelly Day, Vice President of Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios International, and hosted by Nicole Clemens, Vice President of International Originals at Amazon MGM Studios.
From India, Prime Video offered a first look at Call Me Bae Season 2, the comedy-drama series headlined by Ananya Panday. Directed by Collin D’Cunha and written by Ishita Moitra, the show follows a privileged young woman navigating independence and reinvention. An exclusive in-room image and clip were presented during the showcase as part of a broader young-adult sizzle highlighting upcoming titles.
Also featured was Don’t Be Shy, a young-adult, female-forward coming-of-age romantic comedy written and directed by Sreeti Mukerji. The film is produced by Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt under their banner, Eternal Sunshine Productions. A pre-released key image from the project was shared as part of the India showcase.
The London showcase also highlighted a broad international line-up, including Chile’s The House of the Spirits, starring Nicole Wallace and Dolores Fonzi; the French-Italian thriller Masterplan with Stanley Tucci; Korea’s Siren’s Kiss featuring Park Min-young and Wi Hajun; Japan’s animated reimagining Fist of the North Star: Hokuto No Ken; and Spain’s Perfect Liars, based on a bestselling Wattpad novel.
Addressing the audience, Gaurav Gandhi, Vice President of Prime Video APAC, underscored the growing global appetite for Asian storytelling. “When we look at APAC, there's an extraordinary opportunity to take exceptional local content from multiple entertainment ecosystems across the region and bring it to the world,” he said, noting that Japanese anime, Korean dramas and Indian films are increasingly among the most watched titles outside their home territories.
Both Indian projects are slated to stream on Prime Video.
