In a statement, director Vikramaditya Motwane said, "CTRL has been a totally unique journey for me and the team.

Talking about her character and the film, Ananya Panday added, "My character Nella, is like any of us. She's caught up in a world dominated by technology and social media. CTRL explores how we navigate the fine line between our online presence and who we are in real life.
