Teja Sajja and Karthik Gattamaneni’s Mirai released last year and became a blockbuster, collecting ₹150 Cr gross worldwide. Teja Sajja initially planned to start Zombie Reddy 2 next, but since the script writing is taking more time, he has started Mirai 2 as the film’s entire script is already ready.
Mirai 2 Shooting Begins in Vizag
The first schedule shoot has begun in Vizag, though the team has not officially announced it yet. People Media Factory, who produced the first part, is also producing the sequel, with Karthik Gattamaneni returning as director.
The success of the first Mirai has set high expectations for its sequel. The film’s blend of adventure and sci-fi elements resonated with audiences across markets, establishing Teja Sajja as a strong presence in the genre space. The Mirai combo reunited shortly after the first film’s blockbuster run.
Teja Sajja’s Project Lineup
After Mirai 2, Teja Sajja will move on to Zombie Reddy 2, which is also being produced by People Media Factory. The actor spoke about his upcoming films in a recent interview, confirming his focus on franchise projects.
While the Zombie Reddy 2 script is locked, the film requires additional pre-production time. This led Teja Sajja to prioritize Mirai 2, which was production-ready with a complete screenplay.
Sequels Gaining Momentum
Sequels are performing exceptionally well at the box office in recent times. With Mirai’s strong fan base and the proven director-actor combination, Mirai 2 carries high expectations. The franchise approach has worked well for Teja Sajja, who now has two major sequel projects lined up back-to-back.
