In this Paisa Vasool episode, Sravan and Tarun unpack Teja Sajja’s latest fantasy–adventure Mirai. We cover the film’s ambitious world-building, the mythological elements, Manchu Manoj’s loud and eccentric villain performance, the uneven comedy track, the VFX quality, and how Mirai compares to Hanu-Man.We also talk about why the OTT response was so different from theatres, whether the film justifies the beginning of a cinematic universe, and what the Rana post-credit scene might mean.If you’ve watched Mirai, let us know your thoughts — did the fantasy–superhero formula work for you?Watch episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/o0-kNpZTBXYTimestamps:00:24 – Welcome to Paisa Vasool (Sravan, Tarun & Remy)00:36 – Introducing Mirai + initial thoughts01:01 – Teja Sajja, child star roles & career path01:31 – Director background & film details01:44 – Budget, box office & OTT performance02:00 – Did we like Mirai?
