'Yatra 2' Director Says That He Doesn't Have Time For All These!

As we all know, 'Yatra 2' is getting released on 8th February. This film has a lot of expectations on it as the first part became a big hit. Jiiva is playing the lead role of YS Jagan in this biographical drama while Ketaki Narayan will be seen as his wife YS Bharati on the screen. The teaser and trailer along with songs have generated a good buzz on the movie.

The first part focused on the famous 'Paada Yatra' of late YS Rajasekhar Reddy which played a pivotal role in him winning the 2004 elections. 'Yatra 2' is expected to revolve around the aftermath of YSR's death and YS Jagan's rise to power in Andhra Pradesh. When there is a political film arriving, it is common for some people to get hurt and offended. As we know, if there are two sides, one of them wins and others end up getting hurt.

Talking about this, the film's director Mahi V Raghav said,"When we make a movie on politics or political leaders, there is going to be a backlash obviously. People who throw stones throw them, who throw dirt splash them and people who are good stay good. It don't have the patience to clear the stones or time to wipe off the dirt. That is not my job as such."

Mahesh Manjrekar played the role of Chandra Babu Naidu while Mammootty who was the lead in 'Yatra' will play a cameo this time. Santosh Narayanan is the music composer while Madhie is the director of photography. Shravan Katikaneni is the editor while Selva Kumar is the editor. Shiva Meka produced this film under Three Autumn Leaves & V Celluloid banners.

The movie is releasing amidst a lot of hype and political fever in Andhra Pradesh. Let us see how 'Yatra 2' turns out.
