Mandela Twitter Review: Here’s what the audience has to say about the Yogi Babu starrer
The highly anticipated film of Kollywood’s popular supporting actor Yogi Babu titled Mandela was released on April 4 in television and it was released on the OTT platform Netflix on April 5. Written and directed by Madonne Ashwin, the political satire was produced by S Sashikanth. Mandela premiered on television two days before Tamil Nadu was set to vote, and a day before on OTT platform Netflix. It is noteworthy that the film released just a couple of days before the Assembly Elections in Tamil Nadu.
One of the wide opinions on social media about the film is that it serves as a reminder to the electorate to vote wisely. Mandela stars Yogi Babu as a simpleton and a barber, who unwittingly becomes a deciding voter between two contesting political parties in a remote village in Tamil Nadu. Also starring Sangili Murugan, GM Sundar, Sheela Rajkumar and Kanna Ravi, among others, Vidhu Ayyanna cranked the camera, while it was edited by Philomin Raj.

@madonneashwin watched #Mandela. What a brilliant movie this is! Very Well written added with your comic sense. #YogiBabu was fantastic.Transforming ‘Ward En’ short to ‘Mandela’, your skills rightly stands out. Really a perfect start for your career. (1/3)
