Mirai marks the first collaboration between young actor Teja Sajja and director Kartik Gattamneni. The film has been performing well at the box office, and the makers are pleased with the audience’s response.

Manchu Manoj plays Mahabir Lama, also known as The Black Sword, in this action-adventure fantasy drama. Sharing the screen with Teja Sajja, he has drawn attention for his performance, bringing a strong presence and style to the role. As The Black Sword, his portrayal and dialogue delivery make the character stand out, adding depth to the story.

In Mirai, the hero’s journey feels heightened by the villain’s strength, and Manoj’s performance has been widely appreciated for exactly that. Fans have even suggested he explore more villain roles, dubbing him “Manchu Manoj 2.0.”

The film also features Shriya Saran, Ritika Nayak, Jagapathi Babu, Jayram, and others in prominent roles. The music for this People Media Factory production is composed by Gowra Hari.
