New Delhi: Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and produced by Saffron and Andolan Films, CTRL is a cutting-edge thriller that is all set to hit the audiences on October 4, 2024. The film is about dependence on technology. CTRL stars Ananya Panday as Neela Avasthy and Vihaan Samat as Joe Mascarenhas, a romantic couple who create content together and are loved 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 in the process do you slowly lose control? Thrilled to collaborate with Vikramaditya Motwane and Nikhil Dwivedi for the film, Ananya Panday said, “CTRL is engaging, impactful and definitely makes you think if you can really have control over your life. I truly believe this film is for everyone, given the rapid advancement in technology and our growing dependence on it. What better platform than Netflix to reach out to audiences with a compelling story like CTRL?”
Director Vikramaditya Motwane, known for his unique style of storytelling, says, “With the amount of time we spend on our devices, screen time has now been redefined as screen life! The question is, are we really controlling all the digital extensions of our lives, or are we being controlled? That is the answer that CTRL tries to explore. For such a new age concept, we not only needed actors who live such a life, but also a medium like Netflix that is relevant.”
Producer Nikhil Dwivedi adds, “CTRL brings forth a thought-provoking story in a unique format that will be visible in every frame of this film. Be it the actors on screen or everyone working behind the scenes, the entire team was excited and engrossed in this world, meticulously bringing it to life. We are looking forward to our collaboration with Netflix and reaching a wider audience with the film’s universally relevant themes.”
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director, Original Films, Netflix India, said, “CTRL is a testament to our promise to tell stories across genres that are thrilling and entertaining. Vikramaditya Motwane has brilliantly crafted this new-age thriller that shocks and captivates in equal measure. Ananya Panday’s honest portrayal makes the drama even more intense. We can’t wait for the audience to take us on this thrilling ride.”
