Bhaag Beanie Bhaag is about Beanie (played by Swara Bhasker) and her quest to find her own voice in the stand-up space, navigating love, life and her conventional but loving parents. Instagram sensation Dolly Singh marks her acting debut as Kapi, Beanie’s bestie, and the Indian-American actor and comedian Ravi Patel, plays the role of ..well.. Ravi Patel, a budding comic and Beanie’s new-found friend and confidant, both chasing a common passion. The hilarious-by-default Varun Thakur embraces the role of Arun, Beanie’s clingy but loving boyfriend, along with the evergreen Mona Ambegaonkar and Girish Kulkarni, stepping into the shoes of her parents.
