Ever since its release, Mayasabha has sparked a lot of talk, with many thinking it’s a hidden biopic based on the lives of Andhra Pradesh leaders, YS Rajasekhar Reddy and N. Chandrababu Naidu. Viewers have pointed out clear similarities between the show’s storyline and real-life politics in the state. But director, Deva Katta clarified that the series is a fictional drama inspired by emotions, not a real political story. Here’s what he had to say about the rumours.
Mayasabha: Rise of the Titans is not a biopic
Deva Katta, in a recent interview for The Hindu, addressed the speculations of Mayasabha being a biopic. He said nobody fully knows the other person’s story, hence out of pure respect, he would not call it a biopic. He said they have been very careful with the portrayal of the characters, which were made out of legendary perspectives but not meant to be look-alikes. He could be quoted as saying:
“We are all limited with our observational skills, and there is a general perspective running, so I don’t want to call it a biopic out of pure respect for people’s sentiment.”
