Mumbai, Sep 28 (NationPress) Actor Thakur Anoop Singh has disclosed the intense preparation he undertook to authentically portray an army officer in the forthcoming cybercrime thriller “Controll.”

He elaborated on the training and commitment essential for the role. Discussing his character, Thakur mentioned, “The term ‘Control’ embodies power within our narrative. It signifies the repercussions of abusing that power. My character is a unique fusion of being the eldest son, who is both vulnerable and caring, yet fiercely protective of his family. The complexity of this role is what makes it truly special for me. Moreover, this marks my debut as an army officer, a first-time experience for audiences!”

Regarding his preparation for the role, he remarked, “The initial step was undergoing a physical transformation. I had a naturally muscular build, so I needed to slim down and become leaner. I was specifically instructed to avoid lifting dumbbells or heavy weights. Additionally, observing actual army officers greatly aided my portrayal—adopting their walk, stance, and discipline. Once you don the uniform, your body language undergoes a significant change. I’ve always aspired to play an army officer, making this role particularly exciting for me.”

On a related note, the upcoming crime thriller, which draws inspiration from real-life events, features actors such as Rohit Roy, Priya Anand, Yashpal Sharma, Rajesh Sharma, Karan Singh Chhabra, Siddharth Banerjee, and others. The film's first poster was released on social media today. Inspired by actual events and the growing threat of digital fraud, the film sheds light on the darker facets of the technological evolution.

“Controll,” directed by Safdar Abaas and produced by Dhaval Gada and Abhay Sinha, is scheduled for release in theaters on October 10.
