When creating the highly praised film Gantumoote, director Roopa Rao aimed to depict the characters' life journeys. Despite the lingering impact of the movie on fans, Roopa has now revealed her upcoming project, Gochara, distancing it from being a sequel to Gantumoote. She emphasizes that while there is a connection to the previous film, viewers will need to uncover it for themselves. Roopa shares that her inspiration for Gochara stemmed from her personal reflections, particularly during her solo travels, where she often faced inquiries about her safety and companionship. The film focuses on a woman embarking on a solitary journey, exploring both her internal and external experiences. Roopa notes that it's not the act of a woman traveling alone that poses a challenge, but rather the perceptions of men witnessing her solo adventures. Through the protagonist's travels across India, the narrative aims to showcase diverse encounters, aiming to empower female viewers and challenge societal norms. Roopa hopes that the film will offer a sense of liberation to women and prompt a shift in men's mindset.
