Reacting to these rumours Mahi Raghav had denied approaching the stars in question.

"No! Those rumours are completely false. We haven't approached anybody else yet. So far, my sole focus till date was on getting the right actor for the lead role. Now that it's been finalised, I will work on the rest of the cast," he had told a leading daily.

Interestingly, Yatra is the second Tollywood film of Mammootty's career. In 1992, he had starred in the musical drama Swathi Kiranam and impressed the movie buffs. The film was directed by K Vishwanath and also featured Raadhika in the lead.
