South Indian cinema has seen smaller budget films making a significant impact this year, while many big-budget films have failed to meet expectations. Tiger Shroff’s ‘Baaghi 4’, released in September, did not perform well, but ‘Mirai’, which came out recently, is getting good reviews. This film, made with a budget of 60 crore, stars Teja Sajja in the lead role, alongside Ritika Nayak. Ritika is also being noticed for her beauty. Teja Sajja’s previous film was also well-received.
Before ‘Mirai’, Teja Sajja was in ‘HanuMan’, where his acting was praised. He did all his own stunts. It is believed that he has done his stunts in this film too. He appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show to discuss the film.
The Telugu version of Teja Sajja’s film is doing very well. On the first day, the film earned 1.65 crore in Telugu and 1.65 crore in Hindi. On the second day, it earned 13.50 crore, taking the total India earnings to 26.50 crore. One news website reported that Manchu Manoj was the highest-paid actor, receiving 3 crore, while Teja Sajja got 2 crore. He had signed the film before ‘HanuMan’ was released, which explains the fee difference.
Reports show that he received 2 crore for ‘HanuMan’. Ritika Nayak received 50 lakh, Shriya Saran received 2 crore, Jagapathi Babu 1.50 crore, and Jayaram 80 lakh. While some reports say the film’s budget was 50 crore, others say it was 60 crore. The film performed well on Saturday, and a good collection is expected on Sunday.
Given the film’s current earnings, it is expected to recover its budget soon. If the film earns an additional 25 crore this week, its total business will reach 50 crore, which is important before the next film. Due to the quality of his work, Teja Sajja has found success not only in South India but also with Hindi-speaking audiences. He is now known as Pan-India superhero Teja Sajja.
