Yogi Babu who appeared in bit roles a few years back has grown phenomenally to rule as the number one comedy hero of Tamil cinema. Even the big guns are casting him in their films now and recently Mani Ratnam signed him for his web series 'Navarasa'.

The latest big director to be smitten by Yogi Babu is none other than Gautham Vasudev Menon who has shared on social media 'What a warm, humorous, brilliant film. Mandela!
Big round of applause to @madonneashwin & the smashing Yogi Babu with whom I can’t wait to work with. Special mention to Sheela Rajkumar& the rest of the amazing cast. Loved the Music by Bharath Shankar & Vidhu’s visuals. Salute!"

'Mandela' after premiering directly on Vijay TV on April 4th has started streaming on Netflix from the 5th. The political satire film with a heavy dose of humour has been well received by critics and fans alike.

What a warm, humorous, brilliant film. Mandela!
