In “CTRL,” Ananya Panday plays the character of Naila Awasthi, while Vihaan Samat portrays Mascarenhas. They form a romantic couple who create content together, gaining immense love from their online 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 gradually lose control? These are the questions around which the story is built.
Ananya Panday, excited to work with Vikramaditya Motwane and Nikhil Dwivedi, says, “CTRL is an engaging and impactful film that truly makes you question whether you really have control over your life. I believe this film is for everyone because technology is rapidly advancing, and our dependency on it is increasing. What better platform to share a story like CTRL than Netflix?”
Director Vikramaditya Motwane, known for his unique storytelling style, comments, “The time we spend on our devices has turned screen time into screen life! The question is, do we really have control over our digital lives, or are we being controlled? CTRL tries to explore this question. For such a modern concept, we needed a cast that lived in this way and a relevant platform like Netflix.”
Producer Nikhil Dwivedi adds, “CTRL presents a thought-provoking story in a unique format that will be evident in every frame. From the cast to behind the scenes, the entire team was immersed in bringing this world to life. With our collaboration with Netflix and the universally relatable theme of the film, we hope to reach as many viewers as possible.”
Ruchika Kapoor Sheikh, Director of Netflix India Original Films, said, “CTRL reflects our commitment to telling exciting and unique stories. Vikramaditya Motwane has beautifully directed this modern thriller, which is both surprising and entertaining. Ananya Panday’s honest performance adds drama to it, making it difficult for viewers to wait to join this thrilling journey.”
CTRL is not just a film – it’s a glimpse into a future that might be closer than we think. Find out how things unfold in CTRL on October 4, only on Netflix.
