Director Mahi V Raghav just dropped second teaser of his upcoming movie Yatra 2. Which is a sequel to his 2019 hit film Yatra. Yatra released before 2019 Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections and the movie was based on Ex-CM Late YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s life and political journey. The sequel is about to release on February 8, and this is based on Real life story of Current Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The teaser promises a political drama that has references from real life incidents and brings back the memories from YS Jagan’s struggle with Congress and Telugu Desam Party back in 2011 to 2014. The teaser indicates some very interesting moments from the Andhra Pradesh Politics.
The movie dwells in two timelines. One the current timeline of YS Jagan and the other flashbacks from his father’s life.

Starcast
The versatile actor Mammootty reprises his role as YSR and connects the plot with the prequel. Jiva has shown resemblance to YS Jagan. Not just by the face but also by the way he conducts himself throughout the teaser, looks very similar to the real life Andhra Pradesh CM.
.@JiivaOfficial An effortless and a gifted actor who breathed, lived and walked the role of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Veteran Actor/ Director Sanjay Manjrekar is playing the role of Chandrababu Naidu. Actors playing Sonia Gandhi, YS Bharathi, YS Vijayamma and Kodali Nani, looks promising and perfect as to their real life counterparts.

The Political Significance
Before 2019 Elections, Two biopics were in the theatres with two narratives. One as Yatra, based on the late Chief Minister YSR’s life. The other based on late Chief Minister NT Rama Rao’s life named as Kathanayukudu and Mahanayakudu. The theatrical and OTT success of Yatra over Nandamuri Balakrishna’s NTR biopics, gave YSRCP much needed moral boost before the polls.
Before 2024 polls, YS Jagan’s biopic will definitely be a big event for YSRCP supporters.
