About Mirai

Mirai tells the story of a young man named Vedha (Teja) who is destined to become a super Yodha (warrior) and fight off evil. Mahabir Lama, aka the Black Sword (Manoj), is looking for the nine grandhas (texts) left behind by Emperor Ashoka to gain power. Vedha goes on a journey to find a weapon used by Lord Ram called Mirai to defeat Mahabir and protect the grandhas before it’s too late. The film ends up setting up the story for a sequel.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma hailed the film in his X account on Sunday, and congratulated the cast and crew on its success. He said, “After seeing #Mirai , I don’t remember the last time VFX felt so grand, even in the so called + 400 cr films. Hey @HeroManoj1 I thought you were miscast as the villain, and I slapped myself after seeing your terrific portrayal. Hey @tejasajja123 I thought you might look too young to carry such large scale action and I was double wrong.”
