Teja Sajja Says Indian Cinema Must Present Epics and History in a Cool Way

He told IANS, “We are already on the journey to bring our epics to cinematic landscape. Be it Kantara, Karthikeya 2, HanuMan, Kalki or the forthcoming films. Of course, ‘Mirai’ also has a little element of our Indian ‘itihasas’ (Teja likes to call mythology as history) to it. So, we have to embrace our history and I think it's 100% our responsibility to tell it in a very cool way. You might make it a science fiction or you can make an action-adventure to make it cool for the younger audience but ultimately, if we can convey our morals and our history in a very cool way, then that's the biggest takeaway that we can have”.

Teja Sajja Says ‘Mirai’ Is About a Mother’s Dream

When asked about the premise of the film, he said, “This film is predominantly about a mother's dream and how far her son goes to achieve her dream. It's an arc of how he realises what his dharma is and how he fulfills it. So, that's about the arc of the hero”. He also spoke about his voice as an artiste, and the kind of stories that he wants to be a part of and wants to tell the audience. ‘Mirai’ Trailer: Teja Sajja’s Super Yodha Battles Manchu Manoj’s Evil Forces in Karthik Gattamneni’s Upcoming Mythological Action Film (Watch Video)

‘Mirai’: Family Friendly Fantasy Adventure With Morals

He said, “All I can say is I'm going to make super clean films which you can watch along with your kids and your parents and the whole family. I'll make sure I do films. If I talk about Mirai particularly, this is a film that you have to watch only on the big screen. It is an experience, we are delivering a world, it has fantasy, it has action, it has adventure, it has devotion. In a very little way, we are also delivering a moral view point”, he added.
