Director Roopa Rao's much-acclaimed film, Gantumoote, aimed to depict the life journeys of its protagonists. While fans still rave about its impact, Roopa has announced her upcoming project Gochara, clarifying that it is not a sequel to Gantumoote but does have a connection to it. Describing Gochara as a film exploring a woman's solo travel, Roopa shared that the idea stemmed from her personal contemplations on traveling alone. She emphasized that it's not the woman traveling who faces challenges, but the perceptions of men witnessing her solo journey. Roopa hopes Gochara will empower women viewers and challenge societal norms.
