“YOUR DATA IS THEIR WEAPON! Here’s the official poster of #Controll - the cyber-thriller that'll make you think twice,” the makers wrote on social media. The film carries the tagline: “Your Data is Their Weapon”.
“My character is a perfect blend of being the eldest son of the house who’s vulnerable, caring yet fierce to take on anyone being a threat to his family. The complexity of the character is what makes it unique and special for me to play,” Thakur Anoop Singh said in a statement.
