Director Roopa Rao, known for the acclaimed film Gantumoote, aimed to capture the life journeys of her characters in the story. While fans continue to be captivated by the film, Roopa has announced her next project, Gochara, clarifying that it is not a sequel to Gantumoote but has a connection to it. The new film delves into the theme of a woman's solo travel, inspired by Roopa's personal experiences and existential questions. She expresses that it is often the perception of men towards women traveling alone that poses challenges, a theme she explores in Gochara. Roopa hopes to empower women through the story of her protagonist's journey across India and hopes to challenge and change the mindset of men as well.
