Director Roopa Rao was determined to tell a story that encapsulated the life journeys of her characters in the highly acclaimed film Gantumoote. While fans are still reeling from the impact of the film, Roopa has announced her upcoming project, Gochara, with a clear distinction that it is not a direct sequel to Gantumoote. She mentions that there is a connection between the two films for viewers to uncover. Roopa reveals that Gochara explores the theme of a woman undertaking solo travel, inspired by her own existential reflections. She observes that societal attitudes towards women traveling alone often reveal more about the men witnessing their journeys, rather than the women themselves. Through the protagonist's travels across India, the film aims to present a narrative that provokes introspection and liberation for both its female and male audiences.
