Mirai came like a package
After the blockbuster success of HanuMan, many wondered why Teja had chosen Mirai which also features elements of fantasy and devotion. Put this to the actor, he replies, “I always go by instincts when choosing scripts. I was fascinated by several elements in Mirai — action, adventure, drama, mother sentiment and devotion — so Mirai came to me like a package. The film’s VFX work took the narrative to the next level and today, the graphics became the film’s X factor,” said Teja, speaking to Filmfare. Adding, “Mirai has not just been a journey of collaborative effort, but I have learnt so many things about the craft and filmmaking.”
