Yatra is a biopic on YS Rajasekhar Reddy, late chief minister of united Andhra Pradesh. Legendary actor Mammootty is playing the lead role and Mahi V Raghav is the director.
Yatra was initially planned for release in December. However, the makers have postponed the film to an indefinite date as there is hardly any buzz in audience and trade circles. Though the project garnered good hype at the starting, the buzz gradually reduced as the story focuses majorly on Rajasekhar Reddy’s padayatra. The teaser received a lukewarm response and didn’t build any buzz on the film. So, the makers are now in search of ways to create some hype for the film.
As a last ditch effort, they are now planning to release the film along with the second part of NTR biopic which is slated to hit the screens in February. They are hoping that releasing with NTR biopic might help grab the attention of audience. Without any selling points and commercial elements, will changing the release date really help the film ? We have to wait and see.
