“Gratitude”: Teja Sajja Celebrates Mirai’s Thunderous Run With a Quiet Word

When a film explodes at the box office, the usual reaction is loud — victory laps, media blitzes, champagne pops. But actor Teja Sajja, riding high on the surprise juggernaut that is Mirai, chose just one word: “Gratitude.” That simple caption, shared alongside a striking poster of the film, says everything about the heartfelt journey of a project no one saw coming.

 

Released on September 12, 2025, Mirai (also known as Mirāi: Super Yodha) is a Telugu-language fantasy action-adventure film directed by Karthik Gattamneni. It was made by a modest VFX team of just 30–40 people, yet it has stormed past ₹134.40 crore worldwide in just 10 days — a feat even some big-budget juggernauts have failed to match this year. In an industry obsessed with scale, Mirai is proof that vision still trumps volume.

 

The film follows Vedha Prajapati, an orphan-turned-pickpocket who discovers he’s the chosen protector of one of nine ancient scriptures (grandhas) said to hold the power to turn mortals into gods. With a ruthless villain, Mahabir Lama, seeking to unleash darkness by claiming the scriptures, Vedha must come to terms with his identity and purpose. It’s a mythic coming-of-age set against a digital canvas that feels refreshingly grounded — and deeply Indian.

 

Starring Teja Sajja in a breakout role, the film also features Manchu Manoj, Ritika Nayak, Shriya Saran, Jagapathi Babu, and Jayaram. But the real star here might be the storytelling — fast-paced, visually ambitious, and emotionally resonant. Mirai feels like a leap forward for the genre in Telugu cinema.

 

As the film continues its theatrical run, Teja’s one-word post — “Gratitude” — isn’t just a thank-you to fans. It feels like a nod to every underdog creator and dreamer who believed this movie could exist. In a time of cinematic noise, Mirai stands tall — quietly powerful.
