The critically acclaimed actor’s mannerisms look very similar to Reddy’s in the teaser but the film will reveal to what extent. So far, the teaser shows a dramatised version of the politician’s vision. Several concerns were raised about corruption when YSR served as CM between 2004-09. He passed away due to a tragic helicopter crash in 2009. Therefore, Yatra is already in the news for being based on the life and times of such a controversial figure. Also starring Rao Ramesh, Posani Krishna Murali and Anasuya among others, Yatra is directed by Mahi V Raghav. Composer K has provided the score of the film. The upcoming Telugu film is said to release in early January 2019 and will have Mammootty return to Tollywood nearly after two decades. Watch the teaser of Yatra here:
