Karan Johar Praises Samantha, Calls Her Fantastic Actor!

Teja Sajja is now preparing for his next big release, Mirai. Directed by Karthik Ghattamaneni, the film mixes mythology and superhero-style action. Teja plays a hero searching for Mirai, a divine staff connected to Lord Rama’s journey in Treta Yuga. The trailer shows thrilling action scenes, magical visuals, and Teja’s adventurous quest, which has already got audiences excited.

In a recent chat with Karan Johar, Teja Sajja spoke about the actors he admires. He mentioned Megastar Chiranjeevi sir first, then Shah Rukh Khan for Hindi cinema. When asked about his favorite female actor, he didn’t hesitate to say Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Karan Johar immediately added, “She is lovely. She is a fantastic actor.” Fans loved the moment, sharing clips and comments praising both Samantha’s talent and the warmth of Johar’s compliment.

The movie also features Manchu Manoj as the villain Black Sword, who is after nine sacred books granting invincibility. Ritika Nayak is the female lead, while Shriya Saran, Jagapati Babu, and Jayaram play important supporting roles. Originally set to release on September 5, 2025, Mirai is now coming out on September 12, 2025, to avoid clashing with Anushka Shetty’s Ghaati. It will release in 2D and 3D across eight languages, making it a true pan-Indian project.

Teja began his career as a child actor and came back to movies at 19 after a short time away. His latest film, HanuMan, which came out in 2024, let him display his action skills and how he looks on screen. In Mirai, he's playing a larger, more exciting character. This interview also shows how much younger actors respect experienced stars like Samantha, and how much she influences the industry. Fans are now excited to watch Teja's new role and how Karan Johar's comments are affecting what's being talked about online.
