Karan Johar to release 'Mirai' in Hindi? Producer reveals
What's the story
TG Vishwa Prasad, a prominent Telugu producer, has confirmed that his team is in advanced talks with Karan Johar for the Hindi release of their upcoming superhero film Mirai. He told Deccan Chronicle, "We are indeed in talks with Dharma Productions to release our big-ticket superhero film Mirai in Hindi since it has a universal theme."
Screening plans
Johar will watch the movie soon
Prasad revealed that the discussions are progressing positively, and they plan to screen Mirai for Johar soon. The producer is optimistic about Mirai's success in the Hindi market, following the massive success of Karthikeya 2. "The Hindi-speaking audience has shown a great appetite for fresh superhero content, and Mirai is our next big offering after Karthikeya 2," he said.
Film expectations
Prasad on casting Teja Sajja
Prasad also clarified that casting Teja Sajja, known for HanuMan, was not exactly a strategic move. "Honestly, we signed Teja even before HanuMan was released. He was cast while the film was still in production because he perfectly fit the 'underdog-turned-superhero' role — and he has done a fantastic job."
Star collaborations

Prasad also praised pan-India star Prabhas, calling him "one of the nicest and most down-to-earth actors." He is confident that their upcoming film, The Raja Saab, will be a game-changer. On his plans to expand into Bollywood, he revealed early-stage discussions with Abhishek Bachchan. "It's too early to reveal details about our project with Abhishek, but yes, we are planning a full-fledged expansion into Bollywood with three to four Hindi films," he said.
