Mumbai, 31 May 2022

 

Hitchcockian thriller ‘Incognito’ narrates the story of a motel receptionist who captures hidden visuals of guests and sells those on the internet to earn extra bucks, said director Ravi Muppa at #MIFFDialogue today.

“I wanted to tell a story purely from the protagonist’s point of view. So I chose a despicable character. The flow of the film is as such at some point of time, the audience tend to empathize with the protagonist”, said Ravi.

He said, the film rather than giving a message, intend to draw a line between moral and immoral act, narrative of which is subjective and varies from person to person.
