Vikramaditya Motwane’s Netflix film, CTRL, is receiving rave reviews. Starring Ananya Panday and Vihaan Samat in the central roles, the cyber-thriller addresses the horrors of the virtual world. Now, amid the acclaim for the film, Vihaan opened up about his monologue which is one of the highlights.
Vihaan's monologue
In a statement, Vihaan said he took the monologue as a challenge and pushed the boundaries to deliver an exceptional performance. He shared, “When I read the CTRL script, Joe’s monologue did not exist. The monologue was created as we went along, and it changed into a beast on the course. I shot for it three times. Initially, it was like a talk show situation. It had some humor and interaction. But later, Vikram realized he wanted to take a darker tone with the monologue and again, I relearnt it. At every point, I had the monologue only two days before.”

Vihaan added, “I locked myself in the room and rehearsed, got into the zone of someone who was being tracked. Later, Vikram wanted to change the flow of lines again to make the ideas way clearer. The third was the best one. It was very intimate and raw. It was very exhausting and the biggest challenge of my life.”
