The film follows three best friends (Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Adarsh Gourav) as they face the intricacies of love, ambition, heartache, and the captivating pull of social media. It highlights the serious dangers of social media.
Ananya Panday launched #SoPositive, a social media movement for anti-bullying a few years ago. The actress claims that both her own life and the events occurring around her inspired the idea. In an interview with News18, she said, “I was going through cyberbullying and so were a lot of people around me and I felt that the time that we live in, it is a relevant topic to speak about. Trolling doesn’t happen to actors, it happens to everyone. For example, my younger sister doesn’t like being tagged on social media. Many talented people want to showcase their talent to the world, but they are afraid of being trolled. What gave me the motivation to continue is a lot of young kids would come and talk to me about it.”
‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ is helmed by debutant director Arjun Varain Singh, backed by Excel Entertainment's Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar in collaboration with Tiger Baby's Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar. The film is now streaming on Netflix.
