Yamudiki Mogudu (transl. Overlord to Yama) is a 1988 Indian Telugu-language fantasy film directed by Ravi Raja Pinisetty. The film stars Chiranjeevi in a dual role, alongside Vijayashanti and Radha. The supporting cast includes Kaikala Satyanarayana, Allu Ramalingaiah, Rao Gopal Rao, and Kota Srinivasa Rao. The music was composed by Raj–Koti.[1] The core plot of the movie was loosely based on the 1978 American movie Heaven Can Wait. The film was remade in Tamil as Athisaya Piravi (1990).[2]

Yamudiki Mogudu was produced by Chiranjeevi's friends from his film institute days—Sudhakar, Hariprasad, and G. V. Narayana Rao on Dynamic Movie Makers banner. Released on 29 April 1988, Yamudiki Mogudu was a major commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing Telugu film at the time of its release.[1][3]
