Small-budget South Indian films have impressed audiences this year, while many of the highly anticipated big-budget films have underperformed. ‘Baaghi 4,’ starring Tiger Shroff, released in September, was unsuccessful. However, ‘Mirai,’ released a few days ago, has received positive reviews. The film, made with a budget of 60 crore, stars Teja Sajja and Ritika Nayak. Ritika is also known for her beauty. Teja Sajja’s previous film also gained considerable attention.
Before ‘Mirai,’ Teja Sajja was in ‘HanuMan,’ where his acting was praised. He performed all the stunts himself. It is believed that he has done the stunts in this film as well. He was seen on The Kapil Sharma Show recently where he discussed the film.
The Telugu version of Teja Sajja’s film is performing exceptionally well. The first day’s earnings in Telugu were 1.65 crore, and in Hindi, it was also 1.65 crore. On the second day, the film collected 13.50 crore, with a total of 26.50 crore earned in India. News reports indicate that Manchu Manoj received the highest fee of 3 crore for the film, while Teja Sajja received 2 crore. He signed the film before ‘HanuMan,’ which explains the difference in fees.
Reports suggest that the actor was paid 2 crore for ‘HanuMan.’ Ritika Nayak received 50 lakh, Shriya Saran 2 crore, Jagapathi Babu 1.50 crore, and Jayaram 80 lakh. While some sources mention a budget of 50 crore, others suggest it’s 60 crore. The film has been doing well, and it is expected to continue its success on Sunday.
Given the pace at which Teja Sajja’s film is earning, it is expected to recover its budget soon. If the film earns an additional 25 crore this week, the business will reach 50 crore, which is essential before the next film’s release. Because of his work, Teja Sajja has garnered the support of audiences not only in the South but also in the Hindi-speaking regions. He is now known as the Pan-India superhero Teja Sajja.
