Mirai Surpasses Opening Day Collections of HanuMan and Kannappa at the Global Box Office

The action-fantasy film *Mirai*, directed by Karthik Ghattamaneni, had a strong opening at the box office on its release day, September 13, 2025. The movie, which stars Teja Sajja, Manchu Manoj, Ritika Nayak, and Shriya Saran, grossed ₹27.20 crore worldwide on its first day, surpassing the opening day earnings of Teja’s previous film *HanuMan* (₹23.50 crore) and Vishnu Manchu’s *Kannappa* (₹13 crore). The film’s plot revolves around Vedha, played by Teja, a man who runs a scrapyard in Hyderabad and is caught in a larger conflict involving the ancient texts of Emperor Ashoka. As a sanyasini named Vibha seeks him out to fulfill a prophecy, Vedha finds himself in a battle against the villain Mahabir Lama (Manchu Manoj), who aims to dominate the world with the power of these texts. Despite the film receiving mixed to positive reviews, its strong opening suggests that *Mirai* has managed to connect with audiences. It remains to be seen how the film will perform in the coming days, considering the competition and audience reception.
