The trend of biopics has picked up a lot in the Tollywood circuit and in the recent times many projects have been announced. One among them happens to be a biopic on the late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy. This is being helmed by Mahi V Raghav and the Malayalam megastar Mammootty is essaying the role of YSR.

While the impression was that it is going to be a biopic, the title has been unveiled and a theme poster has also come up which is changing the perception. Well, the film has been titled as ‘Yatra’ and inside sources reveal the story is going to revolve around the famous Padayatra YSR did which brought him the post of Chief Minister.

Some are saying if that be so it cannot be called as a biopic because such genre should actually contain details right from his childhood till his demise. Even the title seems to indicate the focus would be on the Yatra. Well, let us wait for the makers to throw some light on it and that should give clarity.
