Vikramaditya Motwane’s cyber thriller CTRL, fronted by Ananya Panday, is set to arrive on Netflix, the streamer announced on Monday. Produced by Saffron and Andolan Films and also featuring Vihaan Samat, the film will start streaming on the platform from October 4.
According to the makers, CTRL is a cutting-edge thriller that will make you rethink your dependency on technology. In the movie, Panday and Samat play Nella Awasthi and Joe Mascarenhas, respectively, 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 do you slowly lose control in the process?” read the official synopsis.
Vikramaditya Motwane, known for Udaan, Lootera, and Trapped, said with the amount of time people spend on their 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,” Motwane said in a statement.
Ananya Panday described CTRL as an “engaging and impactful” watch.
“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?” the Kho Gaye Hum Kahan actor said.
Producer Nikhil Dwivedi said the film brings a “thought-provoking narrative” to the fore in a unique format which will reflect in every frame of this film.
“CTRL is a testament to our promise of telling genre-bending stories that thrill and entertain. Vikramaditya Motwane has brilliantly crafted this new age thriller that shocks and captivates in equal measure. Ananya Panday’s honest portrayal intensifies the drama. We can’t wait for the audience to log into this riveting ride,” added Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director – Original Films, Netflix India.
