Ananya Panday, who is set to star as Nella Awasthi, has expressed her excitement about collaborating with Vikramaditya Motwane on this groundbreaking project. The film explores the lives of Nella and Joe Mascarenhas, played by Vihaan Samat, a couple who are internet celebrities known for creating engaging content together. The storyline delves into what happens when their relationship deteriorates and the implications of their personal lives being heavily intertwined with their digital presence. The central theme revolves around the power of data and the notion of control in an increasingly digital world, questioning how much of our lives we are willing to share and what we might lose in the process.
Ananya Panday reflects on her experience working on CTRL, saying, “CTRL is engaging, impactful, and definitely makes you wonder if you are truly in control of your life. I truly believe that this film is for everyone, given the exponential advancement in tech and our rising dependency on it.

Vikramaditya Motwane, known for his distinctive storytelling style, elaborates on the film’s concept: “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 also a medium like Netflix that’s relevant.” Motwane’s vision for CTRL is to delve into the nuances of digital life and its impact on human behavior, making it a timely and pertinent exploration.
Producer Nikhil Dwivedi adds, “Helmed by Vikramaditya Motwane, CTRL brings a thought-provoking narrative to the fore in a unique format which will reflect in every frame of this film. Whether it is the cast on screen or all those working behind the scenes, the entire team was excited and engrossed in this world, meticulously bringing it to life. Looking forward to our collaboration with Netflix and reaching a wide audience with the film’s universally relevant themes.” Dwivedi’s comments highlight the film’s ambitious scope and the collaborative effort that has gone into its production.
