To mark the occasion of Teja Sajja’s birthday, People Media Factory has officially revealed the sequel to the hit film Zombie Reddy, titled Zombie Reddy Nxt Lvl. Building on the foundation of the original hit, this upcoming chapter promises an expanded scale, intensified action, and elevated zombie-centric thrills.

This spectacle is directed by visionary filmmaker Suparn S. Varma, acclaimed for his stellar work on The Family Man 2, Rana Naidu, and Haq and is created by master storyteller Prasanth Varma, the mind behind the original groundbreaking hit. Bringing the chaos to life is a soundtrack composed by Gowra Hari, known for his record-breaking music in HanuMan and Mirai.

Produced on a massive scale by TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad, the screenplay is penned by a powerhouse writing trio of Hussain Dalal, Prasanth Varma, and Suparn S. Varma. Taking its international ambitions several notches higher, the film is set to release globally in seven languages – Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Nepali, and Japanese.

Superstar Teja Sajja: “For me, the most rewarding part of this journey has been the freedom to take chances and trust the audience to come along. Zombie Reddy was one such leap, and the way people embraced that world and my character gave us the confidence to dream much bigger. Zombie Reddy Nxt Lvl is that dream taken several steps further. The scale, the action and the world we have created are far more ambitious this time, and I’m excited to see how audiences respond to it. As I celebrate another birthday, I couldn’t have asked for a better gift than returning to a franchise that means so much to me. We’ve raised the stakes, brought in an incredible team and pushed ourselves to create something truly entertaining. I’m looking forward to stepping back into the zombie-verse and making this next chapter an experience worth celebrating.”

Director Suparn S. Varma: “Every society creates monsters to process its deepest, collective anxieties. Zombies have always been the ultimate figments of our catastrophisation—they reflect our fear of losing control, of the breakdown of order. The plan with Zombie Reddy Nxt Lvl was to attempt the unprecedented. Having spent years crafting grounded, hyper-realistic political and emotional friction in projects, transitioning into this unapologetically chaotic sandbox is such a thrill. A huge shout out to the foundational brilliance that Prasanth Varma created. We hope to take that to the next level for a visceral cinematic experience.”

Producer TG Vishwa Prasad: “The economics of global cinema have fundamentally shifted; audiences no longer look at films through a cultural footprint. At People Media Factory, our philosophy is architecting massive, multi-genre cultural events in the name of cinema that resonates. Our sequel Zombie Reddy Nxt Lvl is the epitome of that vision. And next level is very much the theme of the way we’re piecing this epic adventure together to give the audience a zombieverse they can own. We are aligning choicest narrative sensibilities with world-class technical assets to create a product that translates across borders, whether in Hyderabad or Tokyo. Releasing across seven languages including Nepali and Japanese is a strategic statement about the universal language of this high-concept entertainment. The scale is immense, the stakes are dead or alive, and by 2027, we look at mapping out a new blueprint for what cross-cultural Indian commercial cinema can achieve on the world stage.”

With the dead rising again and lining up against Teja Sajja, Zombie Reddy Nxt Lvl has set its sights on becoming the biggest cinematic spectacle.

The narrative opens at the conclusion of the legendary Kalinga War. Though victorious, Emperor Ashoka is tormented by guilt and seeks redemption. In his pursuit, he creates nine sacred scriptures, each holding immense wisdom and power, and disperses them across nine locations to be safeguarded for generations. But enters Mahabir Lama (#ManojManchu), a formidable warrior intoxicated by his own strength, sets out to claim all nine texts and crown himself the supreme force. Hope lies in Vedha (#TejaSajja), the son of Ambika (#ShriyaSaran), a divine woman who had sacrificed her only child for a greater cause. Years later, a saintly woman, Vibha (#RitikaNayak), sets out to awaken Vedha to his heritage and remind him of his destined duty. How Vedha, a common man, becomes a super warrior to protect mankind forms the crux of the story.

Director Karthik crafts a truly Indian blockbuster that thrives on both heart and spectacle. The visual effects range from breathtaking to slightly inconsistent, but the scale remains impressive. Mirai can boast of outstanding performances. The cast elevates the film to another level. After outstanding performance in HanuMan, Teja Sajja shines with conviction and displays ‘Hero’ qualities. Ritika Nayak looks pleasant and makes a memorable mark. Manoj Manchu, Shriya Saran, Jayaram, Jagapathi Babu lend good support.

Mirai is an out-and-out Indian cinematic extravaganza that seamlessly blends mythology, faith, fiction, dazzling visuals, high-octane action, and even time travel into one immersive experience.

His performance in Hanu-Man (2024) cemented his status as a pan-India star, as the film became one of the year’s highest-grossing hits. Teja is celebrated for performing his own stunts and bringing relatability to his roles. He has won awards like the Sakshi Excellence Jury Special Debutant Lead Actor for Zombie Reddy and Best Actor at the Radio City Cine Awards for Hanu-Man. Teja continues to rise as a dynamic and inspiring presence in Indian cinema.

Teja Sajja met our Sr Editor Keerti Kadam and discussed various topics including his upcoming film #Mirai.

Tell us about your background….

I do not have any filmy background. I began as a child actor when I was just two and a half years old. A director spotted me in a toy shop and cast me in a film with Chiranjeevi sir. That film clicked, and I see it as pure destiny.

What was your first reaction after reading the script of Mirai?

The story felt extremely ambitious. At first, we weren’t sure if we could pull it off within our budget and limitations. But we figured out creative ways to achieve it—using real locations instead of heavy VFX, performing stunts ourselves without body doubles, and avoiding green screens. Every action sequence you see on screen is performed by me. It was tough work, but that’s what made it look like a big-scale production despite the constraints.

Have you dubbed the film in Hindi yourself?

No. I know Hindi and can speak it, but I am not familiar with specific dialects. I didn’t want to compromise the essence of the film, so I chose not to dub my own voice.

Do you feel nervous before the releasr of a film?

Yes, I did during my first film. But now I’ve learned to let go of that pressure. I’m fortunate to have a strong support system in my family and production team. Ultimately, credibility with the audience is something you build step by step. We always give our 110%. Beyond that, it’s in destiny’s hands.

The trailer seems to combine fantasy with realism. What is your say?

The story revolves around the nine unknown vedas safeguarded for centuries. When a dark force tries to seize them, the hero must intervene. His connection to these ancient scriptures helps him prevent a catastrophe that could destroy humanity. That’s the heart of the narrative.

Since mythology plays a role in your films, do you have a personal interest in it?

Yes, very much. I’ve always been fascinated by itihasas. It’s fulfilling to portray stories that celebrate Indian gods and values rooted in our culture. This film isn’t devotional, but it’s an action-adventure, similar in spirit to my previous film Hanuman, which mixed superhero elements with emotions, family sentiments, and moral takeaways. I believe such films give both entertainment and meaningful lessons to young audiences.

Hanuman created a national moment. How did that feel at such a young age?

It felt surreal. To have the government recognize and support our work was very affirming. It gave us a stronger platform for future projects. But beyond that, nothing changes—the effort and struggle with each new film remain the same.

Has your remuneration increased after Hanuman’s success?

(Laughs) I wish it had! But honestly, I keep pushing myself harder with every film, often sacrificing my own pay to make the project stronger. I haven’t raised my fee since Hanuman.

Did you attend any acting workshops for the role?

No, not really. I consider myself an instinctive actor. I simply follow the director’s vision closely while shaping the character through their background, emotions, and mindset.

Did you feel pressure choosing your next project after superhit Hanuman?

No. I went back to basics. The film I committed to next was signed even before Hanuman’s release, with the same remuneration. I didn’t want to cash in on the hype—I want consistency in effort.

Will you try genres like comedy and romance?

Absolutely. In fact, my upcoming film is a full-fledged comedy designed for audiences across India.

What do you personally learn as an actor with each project?

Every film is a journey of two years, filled with learning and growth. For example, during my debut Zombie Reddy, I was very anxious about box office results. Now, I’m calmer inside, though I may not show it outwardly. Every project changes me in some way.

Why do you think your characters connect with audiences?

Because they are relatable. Even when the story is ambitious, my characters are everyday people striving for something greater, not unrealistically larger than life.

Any plans to enter Bollywood?

Yes, absolutely. Today, there are no language barriers. I’m already working on what I consider a straight Hindi film. I am open to collaborations with directors from any industry.
