“CTRL and the Shah Rukh Khan Connection:

A Modern-Day Tech Thriller with a Bollywood Twist:
One movie enthusiast couldn’t help but draw comparisons
between Ctrl and Shah Rukh Khan’s classic performances,
especially in roles where technology and manipulation of
reality play key parts, like in Fan and Ra.One. Both films
highlight the dangers of a world dominated by technology,

yet Ctrl takes a more intimate approach, centering on
relationships and the emotional fallout of digital interference.
Ananya Panday’s portrayal of Nella, a woman betrayed
and caught in the web of artificial intelligence, resonates
with the emotional depth that Khan often brings to his
characters. With the AI app gaining control over Nella’s life,
viewers are reminded of the vulnerability we all face in the
modern age, much like Khan’s characters who often struggle
with internal battles triggered by external forces. This blend
of human emotion and tech-driven suspense creates a narrative
that Bollywood fans, especially SRK enthusiasts, can deeply
appreciate.
