EXCLUSIVE: Teja Sajja on Prabhas’ voice-over for Mirai

Speaking with Pinkvilla, Teja Sajja was asked about Prabhas’ voice-over narration and how he felt about the gesture. The HanuMan actor revealed how he initially met the Rebel star during the filming of Mirai and how excited Prabhas was for a project.

In his own words, “I met him a couple of times on the sets of Mirai. He was very excited for the film, and like, he’s a star who doesn’t even realize how big he is. He is that simple and humble. I love him. It took us just one phone call for the voice-over.”

“We needed a person with that gravity. A particular kind of personality narrating the story because it has a lot of fantasy. So, to get that kind of believability, we needed a very big person talking about it. It was just a phone call; there was no further discussion about it. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. He is The Darling,” Sajja added.
