Director Deva Katta discusses the new Netflix web series "Mayasabha", and clarifies that while it draws parallels with the lives of real politicians, it is not a biopic of Y S Rajasekhara Reddy or Chandrababu Naidu

## Lead

With the recent release of his political web series "Mayasabha" on Netflix, director Deva Katta has become the subject of heated discussions amongst viewers and journalists alike, with speculation about the series being a biopic of former Andhra Pradesh (AP) Chief Ministers Y S Rajasekhara Reddy or Chandrababu Naidu.

In a recent interview, Katta addressed these speculations, stating that "Mayasabha" is not a biopic but rather a fictional story rooted in reality.

## Context

Katta further clarified that the events and characters depicted in the series are inspired by real-life personalities and incidents that have shaped the politics of the Telugu states, namely Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

He emphasized that he wanted to shed light on the political dynamics and power struggles in AP's political landscape, while also exploring the complexities of influential personalities and their impact on the lives of ordinary people.

## Conclusion

Reflecting on the overarching theme of his web series, Katta stated, "It is not uncommon for political figures to use philanthropy and social justice as a means to achieve political mileage. That's the kind of drama we have used in 'Mayasabha' with an aim to show the harsh realities of our political world.".

The series, which currently holds the top spot in the list of popular content on Netflix India, successfully sparked conversations about politics in the Telugu states.

As we continue to witness the impact of politics on everyday lives, "Mayasabha" encourages us to ponder over the realities of our own societies.

Certainly, we can expect more individuals to share their perspectives on politics in the region, and perhaps even more productions inspired by real-life events is a testament to the success of "Mayasabha".
