Excerpt: UV Creations seems to be tempting fate once again by scheduling the release of Yatra 2 on the very same date of Mirchi and Yatra.
The release of Prabhas’ Mirchi was nothing short of a sensation in the world of Indian cinema. Directed by the talented Koratala Shiva, the film etched itself into the annals of Tollywood history as a memorable masterpiece. Produced by UV Creations, Mirchi hit the screens on February 8, 2013. With a budget of 30 crores, the film managed to amass a staggering 80 crores at the box office, showering UV Creations with unprecedented profits. It showcased Prabhas in a new light and firmly established him as a leading actor in the industry.
In a curious twist of fate, another noteworthy release emerged on the same date, February 8, albeit six years later. Yatra, the biopic of the late Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, featuring the legendary Mammooty in the titular role, became an instant superhit in 2019. It celebrated the life and achievements of the charismatic political leader, and Mammooty’s stellar performance earned widespread acclaim.
Now, UV Creations seems to be tempting fate once again by scheduling the release of Yatra 2 on the very same date . This decision to repeat the historical release date of February 8th, which brought immense success with Mirchi and Yatra, suggests a deliberate attempt to harness the sentiment associated with this date in the hopes of replicating past achievements.
As the industry and fans alike eagerly await the outcome, it remains to be seen whether this date will once again prove to be a lucky charm for UV Creations and the much-anticipated “Yatra 2.”
