Vikramaditya Motwane’s ‘CTRL’ starring Ananya Pandey to release THIS DAY

Ananya Panday is the lead actress in Vikramaditya Motwane’s cyber-thriller CTRL, which the streamer unveiled on Monday. The film, which also stars Mismatched fame Vihaan Samat, is produced by Saffron and Andolan Films. CTRL will be available for streaming on the site from October 4. The makers say CTRL is a groundbreaking thriller that will make you rethink how dependent you are on technology.

About the movie

Panday and Samat play Nella Awasthi and Joe Mascarenhas respectively in the film. They are a passionate couple who work together to create content that their online audience finds engaging. Screen time has been redefined as screen life, according to Motwane, known for critically acclaimed films Udaan, Lootera and Trapped, due to the amount of time people spend on their gadgets. “The question is, do we really have control over all our digital extensions or do they dominate us? This is the solution that CTRL tries to explore. We needed a cast that embodies this lifestyle, as well as contemporary media like Netflix for such a novel concept,” Motwane said in a statement.

Netflix has made this film available

Netflix India’s official Instagram handle shared a video on Instagram announcing the date. “Think again.
