CHENNAI, India – Popular actor Jiiva, known for his role in the Tamil film “Rangam” (also known as “Ko” in Tamil), has not yet been able to establish a strong presence in the Telugu film industry, despite having several of his films dubbed in Telugu. However, he is now placing high hopes on the upcoming sequel to “Yatra.”
In the film, Jiiva will be reprising the role of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He recently spoke about the risks associated with taking on such a project.
“While I was fascinated by Jagan anna’s journey, I initially hesitated to take up this film,” Jiiva expressed. “Playing such influential roles comes with a great deal of risk. If I don’t do justice to the character, it could have negative repercussions for my career.”
Nevertheless, the recently released teaser for the film showcased Jiiva as the perfect fit to portray Jagan’s life on the screen. It is evident that he has put in a significant amount of effort to accurately depict the character.
The first installment of the film, “Yatra,” which stars Mammootty, was a huge success. This success is expected to generate attention and anticipation for the sequel. The team behind the film is confident in its success, and Jiiva hopes to expand his market in the Telugu-speaking states through this project.
The director of the film is Mahi V Raghav. Raghav has gained recognition in the industry for his unique storytelling style and his ability to bring real-life stories to the screen.
As Jiiva takes on the challenging role of portraying YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, he is aware of the risks involved but remains optimistic about the film’s potential to boost his career and create a larger fan base.
The release of “Yatra 2” is highly anticipated among fans, who are excited to see Jiiva’s portrayal of the iconic and influential political figure. With Jiiva’s commitment and Raghav’s talent behind the camera, the film has the potential to make a significant impact in the Telugu film industry.
Overall, Jiiva is stepping into uncharted territory with “Yatra 2,” but he is eager to take on the challenge and showcase his acting skills to an even wider audience. The film promises to be a captivating and insightful exploration of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s life and political journey, and Jiiva’s involvement adds an exciting element to the project.
Fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly awaiting the release of “Yatra 2,” which is poised to be a landmark film for Jiiva and an important addition to the Telugu cinema landscape.
