Singer Lisa Mishra will soon be making her acting debut in the Ananya Panday and Vir Das starrer Call Me Bae. Reflecting on her casting, Lisa shared, "It was a surprise to the direction team when my audition came up because they had only known me as a singer before. But acting has always been a dream, and I have been working on it quietly for years.”

“It took me so long to get here and to crack this. It hasn’t been easy to break away from the mould. Ofcourse singing is my first love, but I did want to scratch this itch of acting and here it finally goes, after a lot of patience,” she added.

Lisa also recently took to social media and wrote about landing a role in Call Me Bae. "I cannot wait for you all to see me in my debut series. Call Me Bae was a dream come true, and to land a gig like this, that too launching with Dharma and Amazon Prime, is truly unbelievable to me even today,” she wrote.

“I have been auditioning with Panchmi Ghavri since 2018, refining my language skills and screen presence for years waiting for this very moment. One day we will put up a reel of all of those failed first, but what this journey has taught me more than anything is resilience. Hang in there—what's meant to be will be. These things don't happen overnight. Hoping I have done my mentors proud and that you enjoy my first ever acting performance. Send me luck,” she concluded the post.

Call Me Bae directed by Collin D’Cunha and created by Ishita Moitra and features an ensemble cast that also stars Gurfateh Pirzada, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, Niharika Lyra Dutt, Lisa Mishra, and Mini Mathur in pivotal roles. It is a Dharmatic Entertainment production with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra as executive producers and will be released on Prime Video on September 6.
