Vihaan takes on a role unlike any other in the new series Call Me Bae, which will debut on Amazon Prime Video on September 6. In a story that delves into the life of a prosperous and self-assured heiress, he plays Ananya Panday's spouse. The series, which is being directed by Collin D'Cunha and produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, looks to be an engrossing investigation of identity and self-discovery, with Vir Das, Gurfateh Pirzada, and Mini Mathur among its ensemble cast.

Speaking about the kind of roles he looks forward to, Vihaan said, “I’ve always sought roles that push me out of my comfort zone. This character is brash, confident, and even a bit narcissistic—traits I haven’t explored before. That’s what excited me about this role.”

He added, “I believe in taking on roles that challenge me and maybe even scare me a little,” He further said, “As long as I’m doing my job well, the truth of the character will resonate with the audience. Standing out in a large cast wasn’t my focus; my goal was to connect deeply with the character and deliver an authentic performance.”
