Director Roopa Rao made it clear that her much-acclaimed film, Gantumoote, aimed to capture the life's journey of its protagonists. While fans are still taken by the impact of the film, Roopa has announced her next project, Gochara, while clarifying that it is not a sequel to Gantumoote, although it has a connection to the film. According to Roopa, Gochara explores the theme of a woman's solo travel, inspired by her own existential questions and experiences during her solo trips. She emphasizes that the challenge lies not with the woman traveling alone, but with the perceptions of men who see her traveling solo. Through the protagonist's journey across India, Roopa hopes to depict rich experiences that will empower women and challenge societal norms.
