Teja Sajja – My goal is not to become a star

Teja Sajja achieved a humongous blockbuster with HanuMan. The young and talented actor is now gearing up to entertain audiences with Mirai. The fantasy entertainer, directed by popular cinematographer Karthik Ghattamaneni, is scheduled for a grand release on September 5, 2025, clashing with Ghaati and Madharaasi.

Teja Sajja has already started promoting the movie. In an interview with Galatta Plus, the actor stated that his goal was not to become a star. Sajja opines that megastars are made over decades. “After HanuMan, my goals have changed. I don’t want to become a star. I want to make films that make an impact on younger audiences, particularly. Even after 15-20 years, people should remember me,” stated the Zombie Reddy actor.

Teja Sajja added, “There are many stories in Indian culture and mythology where the morals can be told in a cool way to younger audiences. The morals should be conveyed in a cool way and not in a preachy manner. That’s what I did with HanuMan. I feel elated when parents tell me their children keep watching HanuMan and talk about the greatness of our Indian itihasas.”
