Following her success in the Prime Video series Call Me Bae, Ananya steps into the role of Nella Awasthi alongside Vihaan Samat as Joe Mascarenhas. The newly released trailer heightens the tension surrounding themes of corruption.

CTRL poses critical questions about data and online identity: how much should we share, and what happens when we lose control over that information? The trailer features the tagline, “CTRL your life. ALT your memories. DEL the baggage. CTRL is out on October 4, only on Netflix.”
