When creating the much-acclaimed movie Gantumoote, director Roopa Rao aimed to portray the life journeys of her characters. While fans continue to appreciate the impact of Gantumoote, Roopa recently announced her new film, Gochara, clarifying that it is not a sequel to Gantumoote but is connected to it in some way. Exploring the theme of solo female travel, Gochara was inspired by Roopa's personal experiences and existential questions.

Roopa hopes Gochara will empower women and challenge existing notions held by men.
