Legendary Telugu politician, former CM, Late YS Rajasekhar Reddy biopic also going to join this list now. There were some reports in the media regarding this biopic a few months ago. 'Anando Brahma' fame Mahi V. Raghav is directing this biopic. Malayalam Superstar Mammootty was approached by the makers recently for playing YSR role in the film. Speaking of the crazy project, Mahi revealed that "Mammootty sir agreed to play YSR role. I'm going to meet him soon to discuss the characterisation."

Mahi also added that the movie will be made on a high budget and the movie will be titled 'Yatra'. It is known that YSR's historic 'Pada Yatra' played a crucial role in bringing Congress to power in AP in 2004. Mahi trashed the rumours that Suriya, Nayanthara are part of the cast. There were rumours that Nayan is playing YSR wife Vijayamma role, and Suriya is playing Jagan role.
