Yatra, the biopic on former Chief Minister of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh YS Rajashekara Reddy, released in cinemas worldwide on February 8th. Yatra’s satellite rights were acquired by MAA TV and the film’s world television premiere is scheduled at 12 PM tomorrow (April 7th).
However, several TDP leaders had filed a complaint with the Election Commission against Yatra’s TV premiere, alleging that the TV premiere has been scheduled just 4 days before the polling day to influence the voters in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the general elections.
But, the EC has given a green signal to Yatra’s TV premiere. In its response, the Election Commission said that a film’s TV premiere or theatrical screening don’t come under the EC’s purview, hence Yatra’s TV premiere doesn’t violate the Election Code which is in effect.
