What did Deva Katta say about Mayasabha?

Director Deva Katta talks about Mayasabha and explains its broad scope it. He said its premise is based on real-life incidents. But it’s fictional and inspired by real-life.

If we connect the dots, it may seem like we are mirroring the lives of YSR and Chandrababu Naidu. The setting is of undivided Andhra Pradesh in the 1990s. It is about two friends who later became political opponents.

Deva Katta intended to make them resemble real-life characters. He said that he believes in working on an emotion in a story. Just like House of Cards can be related to US political History. The producer came up with the idea to look up the state’s journey. It reflects the political awakening that happened from 1975 to approximately 2009. There was a rise and fall of nationalism in this period. If you look at the big picture, it seems like the Mahabharata. It is an amalgamation of friendship, rivalry, and family drama.

Deva Katta said that Mahabharata-like stories are interesting where the conflict is the nucleus. He wanted to give it a ground-level perspective. He likes it when the character rises from the ground level and shapes the images of the political landscape. Mayasabha also shows how states landscape changed. He believes that we are limited in our observational skills, and also, there is a perception we have. He wanted people to watch his fictional imagination of characters. The events that the state held were grand events, and they impacted the people and became a part of their lives. His story engine also he can also evoke greater human emotion out of the structure.
