Mirai Cameo: Telugu fantasy action-adventure Mirai opened worldwide on September 12, 2025. Written and directed by Karthik Gattamneni, the film brings together Teja Sajja, Manchu Manoj, Ritika Nayak, Shriya Saran, Jagapathi Babu, and Jayaram in key roles.
Backed by TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad under the People Media Factory banner, the film generated strong interest ahead of its release.
In the lead-up to the premiere, speculation grew around a possible cameo by Prabhas. Hours before the film’s theatrical debut, Teja Sajja fueled the anticipation by posting on his social media account, thanking Prabhas for contributing to the project and hinting at a “rebellious surprise” awaiting fans in the opening moments.
What the Cameo Involves
Social media chatter that emerged soon after the first shows confirmed that Prabhas does feature in Mirai. According to several posts on X (formerly Twitter), the film begins with his voiceover, setting the stage for the narrative. Viewers also noted that Prabhas makes a brief but striking appearance on screen. Reports suggest that he is shown as Lord Ram, though his full face is not revealed. The film’s closing moments include a close-up that left fans excited, with many sharing clips and reactions online.
This special appearance follows Prabhas’ earlier cameo in Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa, continuing a recent trend of high-profile stars lending their presence to other big-ticket projects.
About the Film
At the heart of Mirai is the story of a young, street-smart man who discovers he must stop a formidable adversary from gaining control over nine sacred books associated with King Ashoka. His quest draws him into a cosmic conflict tied to the concept of “Brahmand,” placing him at the center of a larger-than-life struggle.
The film blends fantasy and adventure with mythological elements and large-scale action sequences. Alongside direction, Karthik Gattamneni also handled cinematography, while Sreekar Prasad edited the film. Gowra Hari composed the soundtrack, and action choreography was handled by an array of Indian and international stunt coordinators. Visual effects, a key component of the production, were supervised by Ramji Dott and supported by multiple VFX teams.
As Mirai begins its theatrical journey, audience attention is split between the film’s narrative and the unexpected Prabhas cameo. While early responses online highlight the scale of the production and its action-driven narrative, the inclusion of Prabhas has added another talking point that is likely to fuel discussions in the coming days. The film’s overall performance will become clearer once box office figures and formal critical reviews are released.
