M9 News journalist Nishant recently sat down with director Deva Katta, the creator of Mayasabha, an upcoming political web series premiering on SonyLIV on August 7th. The show explores the lesser-known friendship between Chandrababu Naidu and YS Rajasekhara Reddy, who eventually became respected political rivals.
The series also features notable political figures like Paritala Ravi and Vangaveeti Ranga, highlighting their early Assembly days and influence on Andhra Pradesh politics. During the interview, Deva Katta addressed key questions raised by political followers and film fans alike.
We asked him if Chandrababu’s coup was a betrayal or an act of saving the party. He also responded to allegations recently made by Nadendla Bhaskar Rao in online interviews. Deva Katta spoke about whether the series touches on YSR’s faction background and how the roles of Paritala and Ranga are portrayed — as caste-based leaders or people’s champions.
The conversation also included a brief yet intriguing chat about SSMB29, the much-awaited Mahesh Babu–Rajamouli film. Deva Katta shared what it feels like to work with a director like Rajamouli and hinted at the film’s creative dynamics.
