Director Roopa Rao was intentional in ensuring that her film Gantumoote portrayed the life journeys of its protagonists. Despite the film's success, Roopa announced her next project, Gochara, emphasizing that it is not a sequel to Gantumoote, but does have a connection to it. Roopa shared that Gochara explores the concept of a woman's solo travel, inspired by her personal solo travel experiences and the questions she faces regarding traveling alone. She highlighted that societal perceptions of women traveling alone, particularly men's reactions, shape the narrative of the film. Roopa aims for Gochara to empower women viewers and challenge men's perspectives through the protagonist's journey across India.
