Jagapathi Babu Unveiled as ‘Angama Bali’ in Epic Superhero Film Mirai

The countdown to one of the most anticipated Indian superhero films of the year has officially begun. With just six days to go for its worldwide release, People Media Factory has dropped the first look poster of veteran actor Jagapathi Babu in his powerful new avatar as Angama Bali from the upcoming action-sci-fi spectacle Mirai, hitting cinemas on 12th September 2025. The caption promises, “From the Darkest Forces, Rises a Beacon of Light,” capturing the mystique and gravitas of the character.

Jagapathi Babu, revered for his commanding screen presence and recent success in antagonist and mentor roles across South Indian cinema, takes on the role of protector of Tantra in Mirai. His character, Angama Bali, is positioned as a spiritual warrior—defender of ancient sacred knowledge rooted in India’s rich Tantric traditions. With symbolism steeped in divinity and cosmic energy, Angama Bali adds a mythological layer to what is otherwise a futuristic, genre-bending superhero saga.

Directed by Sujith Kolli and mounted on a whopping 400 million budget (as per IMDb), Mirai promises to blend spectacle with substance. The film stars Teja Sajja as the titular superhero and features Rocking Star Manoj Manchu, Ritika Nayak, and Karthik Gattamneni in pivotal roles. Backed by Vishwa Prasad, the film marks another ambitious pan-India outing from People Media Factory, joining the league of genre-defining Indian cinema with a global appeal.

Jagapathi Babu’s Angama Bali is not just a visual treat but a narrative linchpin. His role as the guardian of an ancient spiritual code introduces a philosophical dimension rarely explored in mainstream superhero films. By anchoring the story in the practice of Tantra—recognized for its deeply symbolic, non-dualistic worldview—Mirai may well set itself apart in a genre that often leans heavily on tech and tropes.

With the theatrical release set for September 12, excitement is rapidly building. Mirai is expected to offer high-octane action, visual wonder, and cultural depth, making it one of the most talked-about Indian films of 2025. As the campaign heats up, fans can expect more surprises ahead of the film’s global rollout across languages and platforms.
