Making biopics on politicians is the latest trend in Tollywood. Biopics on former Chief Ministers YS Rajasekhar Reddy and NT Rama Rao are in the offing. While NTR’s biopic is making a lot of buzz among audience and trade circles, YSR’s biopic which is titled as Yatra is carrying very little hype.
Yatra is gearing up for release in December. But, there is no real buzz in audience. NTR biopic is constantly staying in news due to strong promotions. The makers of Yatra have released only a poster and a teaser which received good response. But, there is no other promotional activity by Yatra team which resulted in poor buzz on the film.
As the makers have already announced that Yatra is going to primarily focus on the historical Padayatra taken up by Rajasekhar Reddy, the posters and teaser gave an impression that of a documentary rather than a biopic. So, there is no real excitement on the film.
Mahi V Raghav is the director of Yatra.
