I wouldn't have made 'Yatra' then: Mahi V Raghav
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,February 09 2019]
A success met was held today by the makers of 'Yatra' to celebrate the audience's thumping response to the film. Speaking on the occasion, director Mahi V Raghav said that art and the affection of the people can't be quantified.
I can't describe in words the kind of love that the audiences are showering on the film out of love for YSR garu. Had I had any clue that YSR garu commands this magnitude of reverence, I might not have dared to make the film. Some fans have told me that the film is like 'Pitrudevobhava' just as 'Matrudevobhava' was about mother's love. I am feeling very proud. I may get some tags after this film but I am not bothered, Mahi said.
Vijay Chilla, the film's producer, said, All the three films we have made so far had novel stories. When Mahi told us about 'Yatra', we were a bit reluctant as we feared controversies. But when he narrated the scene where YSR speaks to a farmer who struggles to speak after a suicide attempt, we wanted to take the plunge. We are happy that many are reminded of Rajanna after watching 'Yatra'. People are loving Mammootty garu's character.
