Suhana’s words come at the right time when the movie is much awaited, and her appreciation for Ananya and Navya portrays the great bonding they shared. Talking to a source, she said working with Navya and Ananya was like working with family and that very comfort and bonding translated into their natural performances.

‘CTRL’ is being marketed as a fresh, bold concept on modern friendships and how contemporary youth faces challenges in the modern world. It shall explore themes such as peer pressure, influence through social media, and complexities of personal relationship amidst the backdrop of this highly technological world. ‘CTRL,’ the name itself seems to suggest control in the fast-moving, tumultuous world we live in.”.
In fact, the film also challenges a stereotype about a young woman. “Ananya is out there doing everything, but Navya never does anything even when everyone wants her to,” says Suhana. “She is so clever and so introverted and yet so grounded in life.”. Then there is Suhana’s role, exactly between two worlds, a nuanced realistic portrait of the young woman of today.
Suhana’s Take on Ananya Panday’s Performance:
At least in Bollywood, Ananya Panday has already cemented her place.

While Navya Naveli Nanda isn’t your run-of-the-mill Bollywood act, Suhana did bring out the fact that she had something really exclusive for the movie. To be well known as a social activist and an entrepreneurship venture, Navya’s presence in ‘CTRL’ is one of the film’s most exciting aspects. Suhana said she enjoyed this work on this project with Navya and that this had been a learning experience where she got to see a side of her friend that many may have never seen before.
Navya, in the film, is subtle and powerful. Her character faces complex emotions, and a real woman who happens to be intelligent but also empathetic. It was a pride moment for Suhana when Navya delivered her best performance after the first major acting film. “The authenticity of the performance will strike the right chord with the audience because that’s the strength and quiet determination she brings to her real life endeavors,” said Suhana.

Suhana mentioned that in reality, each of them is already different in their individuality, which carries over to their characters making their interaction with each other interesting and lively.
