Vikramaditya Motwane indulges in mind-bending films that freeze you to the screen since they start. Now, reframing your reliance on technology, his upcoming film, CTRL, is a state-of-the-art thriller that challenges conventional storytelling conventions. On October 4, the film starring Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat will have its debut on Netflix.

The romantic CTRL duo—Vihaan Samat as Joe Mascarenhas and Ananya Panday as Nella Awasthi—is well-liked by their online following, as seen in the trailer. When a couple breaks up, though, what follows? When information is king, how much is too much sharing? How much of yourself are you ready to let others in on, and does doing so cause you to progressively lose control? The trailer teases that it would be wonderful to see Nella and Joe as an influencer couple. Nella uses an artificial intelligence app to remove Joe from her life after he cheats on her, but the app eventually takes over.

For this project, Ananya is overjoyed to be working with Motwane and Nikhil Dwivedi. According to the actor, CTRL is a powerful film that will make one question their level of agency. With technology advancing at an exponential rate and people's reliance on it increasing, Ananya thinks this film is relevant to everyone. With a story as riveting as CTRL, the actor believes that Netflix is the best medium to reach viewers.

Motwane, renowned for her distinctive storytelling approach, asserted that the concept of screen time has evolved to encompass screen life! The real question is whether people are truly masters of their own digital lives or if they are mere puppets. CTRL seeks to explore this question. They required a medium like Netflix that is current, as well as a cast that lives this way, for a premise as futuristic as this.

As the film is more than that, CTRL may show a closer future than we think. We have to wait to find out what happens in the film on October 4, exclusively on Netflix.
