Ever since the news and posters of YSR’s biopic featuring Malayalam superstar, Mammoothy as the late YSR, spread out, audiences have been quite inquisitive to know who is playing the role of YS Jagan. Names like Suriya and Karthi was doing rounds. In fact, a few websites parroted Vijay Deverakonda’s name too. The buzz from the director now is that he is planning to completely exclude the YS Jagan character from the biopic and wants the role of YSR and his most touted 1500 kms padayatra in 2003 to be the cynosure of the eye.
The makers are purportedly having a hunch that the whole curiosity of knowing who will play YS Jagan is diluting the purpose of celebrating the former CM, who unfortunately died in a plane crash. Keeping in mind about the factors that might hamper the motto of the film, the sources inform that the makers are just focusing on YSR character and not on the extended roles.
