At the pre-release event of Mirai on Monday evening, a confident Teja Sajja delivered a speech highlighting that the film has a universal appeal and will make audiences have a great time in theatres. He also teased about special cameos in the film, most likely of Lord Ram which was shown in the trailer, but until now it wasn’t revealed who was playing the mythological roles. 

“There will be emotion, action, adventure and a whole new world in the film. There is also a little bit of devotion but mainly, there are surprises for you. There are two special cameos, we never revealed who they are. You watch the film and find that out,” stated Teja Sajja.

Mirai, directed by Karthik Ghattamaneni, is positioned as a high-concept action adventure where mythology blends with modern superhero storytelling. The trailer introduces Teja’s character with the line “nothing is your own” before setting him on a journey to attain Mirai, a divine staff forged from Lord Rama’s path in Treta Yuga.

The antagonist, played by Manchu Manoj as the menacing Black Sword, is in pursuit of nine sacred books that could make him invincible, posing an existential threat. Teja’s character is drawn into this battle to safeguard humanity, aided by intense training sequences and mystical guidance.

Shriya Saran plays his mother, whose early death sets her son on this destined path. Jayaram and Jagapathi Babu appear in key roles. Mirai’s visuals promise scale, with Ghattamaneni doubling up as cinematographer, Gowra Hari composing the music, and the film is releasing in pan-Indian languages in 2D and 3D across eight languages on September 12 clashing with Bellamkonda Sreenivas’ horror-thriller Kishkindhapuri.
