Nara Rohith’s surprising return to the movies is accompanied by another unexpected development. With popular journalist Murthy, known as TV5 Murthy, stepping into the realm of filmmaking for the project titled ‘Prathinidhi 2.’ However, this announcement has sparked controversy, as some political circles speculate that the film may be politically motivated, aimed at supporting the Telugu Desam Party in the upcoming elections.
‘Prathinidhi 2’ carries a significant purpose, intending to prompt people to contemplate crucial issues troubling Andhra Pradesh. The protagonist’s perspective aligns closely with the agenda of the
Telugu Desam Party. This has led to concerns that the film may counter the efforts of the YSR Congress Party, who are releasing ‘Yaatra 2’ in February 2024. ‘Yaatra 2’ focuses on events that unfolded after the passing of YS Rajasekhar Reddy during the United Andhra Pradesh era.
While some critics dismiss Ram Gopal Varma’s film ‘Yvyuham’ as a farce, ‘Yaatra 2’ is viewed as a potent political campaign tool for the ruling government. The timing of both ‘Prathinidhi 2’ and ‘Yaatra 2’ releases adds fuel to the political fire, with speculation that ‘Prathinidhi 2’ is deliberately scheduled to hit theaters a couple of weeks before ‘Yaatra 2’ to influence public opinion.
In a nutshell, the return of Nara Rohith and TV5 Murthy’s foray into filmmaking have stirred up political controversy, and the forthcoming releases of ‘Prathinidhi 2’ and ‘Yaatra 2’ promise an intriguing face-off with potential implications for the Andhra Pradesh political landscape.
