Director Roopa Rao, known for the acclaimed film Gantumoote, was determined to depict the life journeys of her characters in the story. While fans of the film still feel its impact, Roopa recently introduced her next project, Gochara, along with the crossed-out mention of Gantumoote 2. "I want to clarify that this is not a sequel to Gantumoote, but it does have a connection to the film. Viewers will uncover this link when they watch the movie," Roopa explains. Expressing her inspiration for Gochara, Roopa shares that her solo travel experiences led to deep existential reflections. She notes, "I have often faced questions about traveling alone and how others perceive it. The plot of Gochara centers on a woman's solitary voyage, revealing her inner and outer journey." Reflecting on conversations with fellow female travelers, Roopa emphasizes, "The issue lies not with the solo female traveler but with the perceptions of men witnessing her journey. Through the protagonist's travels across India, the film delves into diverse experiences. I aim for women viewers to feel empowered in their own way and perhaps challenge societal norms."
