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.

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.
