Mirai, directed by Karthik Gattamneni, is the latest Telugu dubbed film featuring Teja Sajja in the lead role. The movie comes after the actor’s massive success with Hanu-Man, which was well received by Tamil audiences last year. Carrying forward his choice of spiritual and fictional storytelling, Teja Sajja once again immerses himself into a world of divine powers and mythical struggles.
The story begins with a king who is blessed with immense powers from the divine. However, unable to bear the burden of such responsibility, he decides to release his powers into nine separate books. This act of surrender becomes the foundation of the narrative and the turning point for the entire storyline.
The plot then shifts focus to a young boy who is mistreated and cornered by his family and people. Filled with rage, the boy turns destructive and seeks revenge against them. Before his complete downfall, he is rescued by Jagapathi Babu, who trains both his own son and the boy in magical powers. Unfortunately, the boy transforms into the negative force, Mahabir Lama, who aspires to dominate people and spread fear.
Adding depth to the tale is the character of Ambika, a woman with the rare gift of foreseeing the future. Her role is powerful yet tragic, as she sacrifices her unborn child to protect the world from the demon’s rise. This layer of emotion adds both spiritual strength and human pain to the movie.
Teja Sajja plays the orphaned protagonist who wanders alone, living life carelessly without any sense of purpose. His journey takes a new turn when a girl from the Himalayas reveals his destiny, he is the chosen protector who must stand against Mahabir Lama and safeguard humanity. This revelation sets the stage for his transformation from a carefree soul to a committed warrior.
One of the key narrative threads is the importance of the nine books. The last of these books carries the most dangerous secret: a power that cannot be destroyed by anyone. To overcome this, the film ties in a divine intervention where Lord Ram himself has placed the final solution within Mirai. This element blends mythology and fiction, keeping the spiritual essence alive throughout the film.
Ambika’s vision guides the hero’s path, as she explains where Mirai lies, even while carrying her child. The spiritual connection between mother and unborn baby adds a mystical weight to the film’s message that goodness and sacrifice are the cornerstones of survival.
The climax of the story revolves around how Teja Sajja, with the guidance of Mirai and the strength of his destiny, battles Mahabir Lama. The conflict is presented with grandeur and cinematic scale, leaving audiences with the hope that good will always prevail, no matter how dark the forces of evil may seem.
When it comes to performances, Teja Sajja once again proves his ability to handle roles that demand both innocence and heroism. His portrayal of an orphan-turned-protector feels natural and convincing. Jagapathi Babu lends his usual strong screen presence, guiding the emotional and magical balance of the story. Manchu Manoj brings intensity as Mahabir Lama, leaving a lasting impression with his negative role. Shriya Saran shines in her graceful portrayal of Ambika, carrying both emotional depth and divine strength. Supporting actors like Jayaram and Tanja Keller add value to the film, keeping the narrative engaging.
On the technical side, director Karthik Gattamneni ensures that the visuals and narration stay in line with the grand theme of spirituality and fantasy. Music by Gowra Hari complements the storytelling with both soulful and dramatic tones. Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under People Media Factory, the film benefits from high production quality, and its release in Tamil Nadu by AGS Cinemas ensures a wider reach among audiences.
