In the highly praised film Gantumoote, director Roopa Rao aimed to capture the life journeys of her characters. Despite the lingering impact of the film on fans, Roopa has now announced her next project, Gochara, clarifying that it is not a sequel to Gantumoote but is linked to it in some way. She explains that Gochara explores the theme of a woman's solo travels, inspired by her own experiences and existential questions. Roopa emphasizes that the issue lies not with the woman traveling alone, but with the perception of men towards solo female travelers. Through the protagonist's journey across India, Roopa hopes to convey a message of empowerment for women and challenge societal norms.
