The political scene is buzzing with recent elections in Telangana and other states, setting the stage for the upcoming Lok Sabha and AP elections in April. Among the surge of political-themed movies, RGV’s ‘Vyuham’ is embroiled in controversy. On a different note, ‘Yatra 2‘, directed by Mahi V Raghav, is set for release on February 8th.
This sequel follows ‘Yatra,’ which depicted how YS Rajasekhar Reddy’s ‘Paada Yatra’ led to his 2004 election victory. ‘Yatra 2’ not only delves into YSR’s story but also showcases the rise of the current AP Chief Minister, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The recently unveiled teaser, while carrying a clear narrative slant, effectively captures the emotional essence of the tale.
It portrays the political maneuvering that aimed to thwart Jagan’s ascension. Noteworthy performances include Mahesh Manjrekar as Chandra Babu Naidu, Mammootty‘s impactful cameo as YS Rajasekhar Reddy, Suzanne Bernert as Sonia Gandhi, and Jiiva‘s spot-on portrayal of Jagan Mohan Reddy, mastering his gestures and expressions.
Overall, the teaser skillfully touches upon sensitive aspects, maintaining an emotional connection and heightening anticipation. The film boasts Santosh Narayanan‘s music, Madhie as the cinematographer, and Shiva Meka as the producer.
