Director Roopa Rao was very intentional about crafting Gantumoote to depict the life journeys of its characters. Despite the lingering impact of the film on its fans, Roopa recently introduced her upcoming project, Gochara. She clarified that Gochara is not a sequel to Gantumoote but does hold a connection to it, leaving viewers to make their own discoveries when watching the film. Roopa shared that the inspiration for Gochara stemmed from her personal contemplations, particularly centered around the theme of women embarking on solitary trips. She highlighted the common societal apprehensions faced by women traveling alone, emphasizing that it is often the perceptions of men witnessing these journeys that create challenges. In her new film, the protagonist travels across India, offering a diverse range of experiences that Roopa hopes will resonate with female viewers and encourage a shift in male perspectives.
