First song from Mammootty’s Yatra to be out soon!

The biopic of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy is currently on the floors. The movie directed by Mahi Raghav has Malayalam superstar Mammootty playing YSR. Vijay Chilla and Shashi Devi are jointly producing the movie under their banner of 70MM Entertainments. The makers have announced that the lyric video of the song ‘Samara Shankham’ the movie will be released on September 2.

Earlier, the teaser of Yatra had garnered great response from the viewers. Mammootty for his perfect diction of the Telugu language and his famed voice modulation in the teaser enhanced the expectations for the movie. YSR is one of the most popular and revered politicians that the state of Andhra Pradesh has ever seen. So naturally, it is one of the most challenging roles that Mammootty has done his career so far.

Yatra, according to the makers, is an event-based film which primarily focuses on the time during YSR’s famous three-month-long padayatra in 2003. The padayatra was a defining moment in his career which transformed him into a people’s leader. Apart from Mammootty, the movie also stars Rao Ramesh, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Posani Krishna Murali, Vinod Kumar and Sachin Khedekar. Popular Tamil star Karthi is also said to be playing a crucial role in the movie, but the makers have still not confirmed it.
