Teja Sajja on Mythology in Films: “We Are Teaching Dharma Through Cinema”

Share


Mythology-based films are currently enjoying a strong run at the box office, provided they are executed well. While some projects like Adipurush have failed despite the hype, others have struck a chord with audiences. Young actor Teja Sajja is emerging as a notable presence in this trend. His film HanuMan was a commercial success, and his upcoming release Mirai also incorporates mythology, albeit in a smaller way. This led Hindi media to question him on why his films often have religious undertones—a query that genuinely surprised Teja.

During the promotional event for Mirai in Mumbai yesterday, Teja shared his insights about the film, his approach to selecting projects, and his broader career plans. When asked specifically about the “religious flavour” in his films, Teja responded cleverly, questioning why actors who repeatedly do love stories are never asked similar questions. He added, “In fact, I think you should feel happy that we are trying to tell Dharma through our films.”

Teja elaborated that HanuMan is primarily a superhero story with multiple dimensions, including familial bonds and moral lessons, in addition to its religious elements. Regarding Mirai, he clarified that the trailer only shows a brief glimpse of Lord Sriram, while the film itself is rich with thrill, fantasy, and other exciting elements.

Concluding his thoughts, Teja emphasized that he aims to blend moral values and Dharma into his films, making them entertaining yet meaningful—a stance that earned him widespread appreciation.
