Interesting facts

Martin Luther King is a 2023 Indian Telugu-language political satire film directed by Puja Kolluru in her directorial debut. It was jointly produced by YNOT Studios, Reliance Entertainment, and Mahayana Motion Pictures. This film's story is a remake of the Tamil movie Mandela, in which Yogi Babu played the lead role. Titled after the prominent American civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, the film stars Sampoornesh Babu in the titular role, with Naresh, Sharanya Pradeep, and Venkatesh Maha playing supporting roles.

Production

YNOT Studios came up with the idea of adapting the Tamil film Mandela into Telugu, and as Baradwaj Rangan suggested, they approached Venkatesh Maha. However, Venkatesh Maha declined to do another remake, as he had already remade the Malayalam film Maheshinte Prathikaaram in Telugu as Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya. Subsequently, they chose Venkatesh's associate director, Puja Kolluru, to direct the film.
