Yatra: Here’s the first look of YSR biopic starring Mammootty!

It is already known that Mammootty is playing the lead in late Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s biopic. The movie titled as ‘Yatra’ is directed by Mahi Raghav, who has made movies like Paathshala and Anando Brahma. The first look poster of the movie featuring Mammootty was released today by the makers in social medias. The poster comes with a caption which reads, “He wanted to leave a footprint in history, instead he left one in the hearts of people.”

YS Rajasekhara Reddy, popularly known as YSR, is one of the most political leaders that Andhra Pradesh has ever seen. YSR died in an air crash in 2009 when the helicopter carrying him crashed in a dense forest. He was so hugely popular that hundreds of his followers committed suicide upon hearing his unfortunate demise. This upcoming movie will showcase some of the important aspects of his life and his political journey.

According to director Mahi Raghav, Yatra is an event-based film which primarily focuses on the time during YSR’s three-month-long padayatra in 2003. The padayatra was a defining moment in his career which transformed him into a people’s leader. While Mammootty has been confirmed for YSR’s role, the makers are yet to make an announcement about the actors who will be playing the other crucial roles.

Yatra is officially commencing this Monday (April 9). The makers are planning to complete shooting and post-production formalities in six months and release the film either in December or January 2019. The movie is being produced jointly by Vijay Chilla and Shashi Devi under the banner of 70MM Entertainments.
