Vikramaditya Motwane's highly anticipated thriller ‘CTRL’, starring Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat, is set to release on October 4 on Netflix.
Pushing the boundaries of traditional storytelling, ‘CTRL’ will make viewers rethink their dependency on technology.
Produced by Saffron and Andolan Films, the film stars Ananya as Nella Awasthi and Vihaan as Joe Mascarenhas, a romantic couple who create content together and are adored by their Internet audience.
‘But what happens when they break up? In a world where data is power, how much sharing is too much? How much of your life are you willing to share, and do you slowly lose control in the process?’ read the official synopsis.
Ananya, thrilled to be collaborating with Vikramaditya Motwane and Nikhil Dwivedi for this film, shared, ‘CTRL is engaging, impactful and definitely makes you wonder if you are truly in control of your life. I truly believe that this film is for everyone, given the exponential advancement in tech and our rising dependency on it. What better platform to reach the audience with a narrative as compelling as CTRL than Netflix?’
Director Motwane shared, ‘With thamount of time we spend on our devices, screen time is now redefined as screen life! The question is, are we actually in control of all the digital extensions of our life, or are we being controlled? That’s the answer CTRL tries to explore. For a concept as new-age as this, we not only needed a cast who lives such a life, but a medium like Netflix that’s relevant.’
Producer Nikhil Dwivedi added, ‘Helmed by Vikramaditya Motwane, CTRL brings a thought provoking narrative to the fore in a unique format which will reflect in every frame of this film. Whether it is the cast on screen or all those working behind the scenes, the entire team was excited and engrossed in this world, meticulously bringing it to life. Looking forward to our collaboration with Netflix and reaching a wide audience with film’s universally relevant themes.’
