Nowadays all the heroes from the Telugu industry aim for pan-Indian stardom. and the Hindi market is very essential for it. Till now very few stars have succeeded in their attempt. Teja Sajja joins the list as he becomes a Pan-India star with back-to-back hits.

The actor’s last film, Hanuman, was a big success in Hindi along with being a big blockbuster in Telugu. The sensational blockbuster gathered 50 Cr net collections, and Teja’s latest film, Mirai, also saw good opening weekend in Hindi belts.

The fantasy adventure film’s Hindi version has collected 10 Cr gross in India on the first weekend, which is definitely not an easy number, and it is expected to do more than 25 Cr gross in its full run and even more if it holds good. 

Achieving these numbers continuously has certainly put Teja Sajja as a promising Pan-Indian star, as his films are getting good numbers in Hindi as well as Telugu.

One good thing about Teja is he is promoting the film in a big way. For Mirai also, he promoted the film by giving interviews and attending the talk shows in Hindi, which have yielded positive results.

The Mirai actor’s Zombie Reddy 2 also has a high potential to do big numbers in Hindi because of the exciting concept and sequel factor.
