Teja Sajja – Prasanth Verma duo successfully introduced the concept of Zombies to Telugu audience. ‘Hanu Man’ – the first of its kind superhero film in Telugu is all set for a Pan-India release, and the teaser is trending at No 1 spot raising hopes for the team. Teja Sajja feels lucky. ‘He has worked very hard, and is glad to see the result on screen,” he shares during an exclusive interview.

Teja Sajja is one of the most successful child actors of Telugu cinema, as he acted in over 50 films with the biggest production houses and some of the top actors. He began to work from 1998 in top films of the time like ‘Choodalani Vundi’, ‘Indra’ ‘Kalisundam Ra’, ‘Gangotri’ and ‘Chatrapati’ besides others. He took a break as he reached the age when getting good age-appropriate roles was becoming difficult, and he had to finish his education. In 2014, when he made a comeback as lead hero, it was important for him to shrug of his image as a child actor. His supporting role in ‘Oh Baby’ was well acclaimed, but he had to wait until ‘Zombie Reddy’, a Prasanth Verma directorial, to be taken seriously.

Two more films ‘Ishq’ and ‘Adbhutam’ later; he is now all set for the release of his next film. The superhero film ‘Hanu Man’ by the director with an ambitious vision - Prasanth Verma, is one of the much-awaited films. Teja places the role of a villager Hanumanthu, who gains super powers by the grace of Lord Hanuman. Amritha Aiyar is the female lead in the film.
