Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) is showering praise on Teja Sajja's new film, ‘Mirai,’ generating buzz around the young actor's latest venture. Varma lauded the movie as an "INDUSTRY HIT," remarking that he hasn't witnessed such unanimous praise for a film since ‘Baahubali’. He further commended the film's visual effects (VFX) and narrative grip, stating that they are of "HOLLYWOOD STANDARD".

‘Mirai,’ directed by Karthik Gattamneni, hit theaters on September 12, 2025. The film is a fantasy action-adventure that blends mythology with modern storytelling. It stars Teja Sajja and Manchu Manoj in leading roles, with Ritika Nayak, Shriya Saran, Jagapathi Babu, and Jayaram in supporting roles. Karan Johar and Dharma Productions are on board as official distribution partners.

The film's narrative revolves around a young warrior, Vedha Prajapathi (played by Teja Sajja), who is destined to protect nine sacred scriptures that can transform mortals into gods. These scriptures, originating from Emperor Ashoka's time, hold the secret to immortality. Vedha must confront Mahabir Lama, also known as The Black Sword (played by Manchu Manoj), a ruthless antagonist seeking to claim the books and attain immortality to rule the world.

Teja Sajja shared that ‘Mirai’ was filmed in approximately 125 days with a budget of ₹60 crore.
