CTRL Director Vikramaditya Motwane Responds to Comparisons with Searching, Black Mirror

Vikramaditya Motwane, the director of the upcoming film CTRL, recently addressed comparisons of his movie with the Hollywood film Searching and the popular TV series Black Mirror. CTRL is a tech-thriller, which has led to these comparisons due to its focus on technology and the digital world.

Vikramaditya acknowledged the similarities but emphasized that CTRL has its own unique story and perspective. While *Searching* is a thriller that takes place entirely on computer screens, and *Black Mirror* explores the dark side of modern technology, CTRL focuses more on human emotions and the ways technology impacts relationships. He believes that even though all these works deal with tech, the narrative in CTRL is more personal and emotionally driven.

He appreciates being compared to such well-regarded projects but hopes that CTRL will stand on its own. Motwane aims to bring something fresh and different to the tech-thriller genre, showcasing how technology can both connect and control people in unexpected ways.
