Shriya Saran Sentiment Craze Fuels Mirai Grand Victory

Shriya Saran has always carried a unique charm in Tollywood. Once the leading lady for superstars like Megastar Chiranjeevi, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Mahesh Babu, and Pawan Kalyan, she later stepped back after marriage and focused on family life. Her comeback through RRR reminded audiences of her screen presence. Now, in Mirai, she plays a crucial role as Teja Sajja’s mother, and the buzz around this casting has already sparked discussion. The film, packed with fantasy visuals and heavy graphics, is gearing up for release on September 12.

But beyond the story and visuals, there’s a sentiment wave linked to Shriya. Teja Sajja’s earlier films Balu and Chhatrapati, both of which featured Shriya as the heroine, turned into hits. Fans believe this connection is a good omen for Mirai. Adding to it, September has been a lucky month in her career. Tagore, Chennakesava Reddy, and Chhatrapati—all released in September—became superhits. This mix of coincidences is making the makers confident that the film will ride on both content and sentiment.

The trailer hints that Shriya’s role is not just a side presence but one that pushes the story forward. For fans, this is refreshing, as many actresses after marriage get reduced to brief appearances. Shriya, however, seems to have picked roles that stand out, whether in mainstream blockbusters or experimental projects.

Coming to Mirai, Teja Sajja shoulders the lead, Manchu Manoj takes up the villain’s role, and Ritika Nayak appears as the heroine. Directed by Karthik Ghattamaneni, the film is being promoted as a visual spectacle with an emotional core. With Shriya’s sentiment adding to the buzz, the audience now waits to see if Mirai can turn hype into history.
