Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat to headline Vikramaditya Motwane’s cutting-edge thriller CTRL; set to release on Netflix on October 4

Ananya Panday has declared her next venture and it is with Vikramaditya Motwane. CTRL is a cutting-edge thriller that challenges conventional storytelling and will make you question your reliance on technology. Coordinated by Vikramaditya Motwane, and delivered by Saffron and Andolan Movies, CTRL debuts on October 4 on Netflix.

Ananya Panday plays Nella Awasthi in CTRL, and Vihaan Samat plays Joe Mascarenhas. They are a happy couple who work together to make content and are popular on the Internet. However, what happens after their breakup? How much sharing is too much in a world where power is derived from data? How much of your life are you willing to share with others, and do you gradually lose control?

Ananya Panday says, "CTRL is engaging, impactful, and definitely makes you wonder if you are truly in control of your life." She is thrilled to collaborate with Vikramaditya Motwane and Nikhil Dwivedi on this film. Given the rapid development of technology and our increasing reliance on it, I truly believe that this movie is suitable for everyone. Netflix is an excellent medium for delivering a narrative as compelling as CTRL.

Director Vikramaditya Motwane, who is known for his distinctive approach to storytelling, explains, "With the amount of time we spend on our devices, screen time is now redefined as screen life! The question is whether we are actually in charge of all of the digital facets of our lives or whether we are being controlled by them. That is the response CTRL attempts to investigate. We needed not only a cast who leads such a life, but also a relevant medium like Netflix for this new age concept."

“Helmed by Vikramaditya Motwane, CTRL brings a thought-provoking narrative to the forefront in a unique format that will reflect in every frame of this film,” states producer Nikhil Dwivedi further. Whether it is the cast on screen or that large number of working in the background, the whole group was energized and fascinated in this world, fastidiously rejuvenating it. We are looking forward to working with Netflix and bringing the film's universally relevant themes to a wide audience.

"CTRL is a testament to our promise of telling genre-bending stories that thrill and entertain," adds Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director - Original Films, Netflix India. This modern-day thriller written by Vikramaditya Motwane is both shocking and captivating at the same time. Ananya Panday's straightforward depiction heightens the show. We are eagerly anticipating the audience's entry into this thrilling ride.
