Ananya shared back the love by reposting Samantha’s note on her Instagram story. 
Anurag Kashyap appreciated his Motwane’s work and wrote, “@motwayne is out with another banger. Again pushing the boundaries of technology and storytelling. You cannot contain the man, or put him in a box. Always braver than everyone around him. Its a thriller, its scary, its a nightmare with a career best central performance by @ananyapanday. I was lucky to see it on screen but now streaming on @netflix.in. Watch it with good headphones. Congratulations to @nikhildwivedi25. It takes equal amounts of balls to back that it takes to make it. Good job team.”
Nella, played by Ananya Panday in CTRL, is shown handing over control of her happiness and life to an AI software, however things take a nasty turn when the human touch becomes submissive against AI. Produced by Nikhil Dwivedi and Arya A Menon, the movie is now streaming on Netflix.
