NEW DELHI: Whether romance or thriller, social media is going to be a prevalent character in movies going forward, says actor Ananya Panday who has emerged as the go-to actor to tell stories rooted in modern technology with “CTRL”, “Call Me Bae” and “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan”.

In the Vikramaditya Motwane-directed “CTRL”, where a story unfolds entirely through various screens, Panday plays Nella, a social media influencer whose life comes crashing down when she enlists the help of an AI to erase her cheating ex (Vihaan Samat) from her digital life.

The actor said the timing of the release of her three projects, where her characters’ digital life play a key role in the narrative, makes it seem like they have a connection but she didn’t think about it while signing them.
