After the phenomenal success of Hanu-Man, actor Teja Sajja returns with Mirai (2025), an ambitious action-fantasy directed by Karthik Gattamneni. Backed by grand visuals and mythological elements, the film has been one of the most awaited releases this year. With an ensemble cast featuring Manchu Manoj, Ritika Nayak, Shriya Saran, Jagapathi Babu, and Jayaram, Mirai hits theatres worldwide. Here’s the Nera News review.

Mirai Movie Storyline

The story begins with Emperor Ashoka, who, after the devastation of the Kalinga war, locks away the power of immortality inside nine sacred texts entrusted to his chosen protectors. Centuries later, Ambica (Shriya Saran) foresees the rise of Mahabir Lama (Manchu Manoj), also called The Black Sword, who is determined to collect the books and rule eternally.

In her attempt to prevent destruction, Ambica ties the fate of Vedha Prajapathi (Teja Sajja), a carefree orphan from Hyderabad, to this ancient legacy. The mystery unfolds—can Vedha rise to stop Mahabir? What role does Vibha (Ritika Nayak) play in the bigger picture? And ultimately, what exactly is Mirai—just a book or something much larger?

Mirai Movie – Actor Performances

Teja Sajja impresses yet again with his versatility. He easily shifts from a playful youth in the first half to a determined hero in the second, holding the narrative together with intensity.
Manchu Manoj is a menacing antagonist. His screen presence, voice, and expressions make Mahabir Lama a formidable character.
Shriya Saran surprises with a strong role. She adds elegance and emotion to key moments, making her character essential to the story.
Ritika Nayak as Vibha adds charm but is underutilised. With more depth, her role could have left a stronger mark. Read also Mirai (2025) Girl Ritika Nayak – Rising Star of Telugu Cinema

Ritika Nayak’s role deserved more substance, especially in the second half.
The comedic police track feels misplaced and weakens the tone.
The climax, despite the scale, feels predictable and could have delivered a bigger punch.

Mirai Movie Review

Mirai is a grand spectacle that blends mythology with modern storytelling. Teja Sajja’s transformation, Manchu Manoj’s impactful villainy, and Shriya Saran’s emotional strength make the film stand out. While the film falters with a predictable climax and some underwritten portions, it makes up for it with spectacular action sequences, mythological grandeur, and technical excellence.

Overall, Mirai (2025) is a visual feast and a worthy big-screen experience. For fans of fantasy adventures, mythological themes, and action-packed storytelling, this is a film not to be missed.
