Check out the official announcement:
CTRL is slated to premiere on Netflix from October 4 onwards. This marks Ananya and Motwane's first on-screen collaboration together.
Ananya Panday shared her excitement about collaborating with Vikramaditya Motwane and said that CTRL is 'engaging, impactful' and will make people wonder if they are in control of their lives. "I truly believe that this film is for everyone, given the exponential advancement in technology and our rising dependency on it. What better platform to reach the audience with a narrative as compelling as CTRL than Netflix?," she added.
Vikramaditya Motwane said, “With the amount of time we spend on our 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.”
