Director Roopa Rao, known for her acclaimed film Gantumoote, was adamant that the story of her characters should reflect their life journeys. While fans continue to rave about the impact of Gantumoote, Roopa has now revealed her upcoming project, Gochara, clarifying that it is not a sequel to Gantumoote. She hints that there is a connection between the two films, leaving it up to viewers to unravel. Explaining the inspiration behind Gochara, Roopa shares that her own solo travels sparked existential questions about societal perceptions. She emphasizes that it's not the woman traveling alone who faces issues but rather how men perceive her actions, a theme she explores in depth in her new film. Roopa aims to depict a woman's liberating journey across India and hopes to empower both women and challenge societal norms through her storytelling.
