Mirai: AI-Generated Prabhas Voiceover Shocks Fans, Makers Clarify

Teja Sajja’s latest fantasy action drama Mirai hit theatres on September 12, 2025, and scored a blockbuster opening. The movie surprised fans with a special voiceover by Prabhas at the very beginning, which sparked massive buzz on social media. The makers have now confirmed that they created the voice using AI technology, not through a recording by Prabhas.

AI Voiceover of Prabhas in Mirai

Just hours before the film’s premiere, Teja Sajja thanked Prabhas on social media. His post made fans believe that the Baahubali star had either dubbed for the film or appeared in a cameo. After the first shows, many viewers noticed that the voice sounded different from Prabhas’ natural tone. Their observations triggered speculation that the team used AI technology to recreate his voice.

The makers revealed the truth and stated that they used AI-based voice cloning with Prabhas’ consent for a two-minute narration at the start of the film. This narration introduces the world of Mirai and builds excitement for the story. Analysts say the unique AI use gives the movie a fresh and dramatic opening.

Mirai’s Box Office Performance

Mirai saw strong advance bookings and delivered a massive Day 1 performance. Industry trackers reported that the film earned Rs 12 crore net and Rs 25 crore gross worldwide on its opening day. Fans rushed to theatres largely because of the buzz around Prabhas’ voiceover, which significantly boosted ticket sales.

Cast, Crew, and Budget

Director Karthik Gattamneni helmed Mirai, and People Media Factory produced it. The film features Teja Sajja in the lead role, while Manchu Manoj plays the menacing antagonist. The team made Mirai on a Rs 50 crore budget and must earn Rs 37 crore to break even. With its strong start, the film looks set to enter the profit zone by the end of its first weekend.

Mirai’s Unique Appeal

Mirai tells the story of a Super Yoddha (super warrior) and blends action, VFX, and mythology to attract all sections of the audience. Teja Sajja ran aggressive promotions that created huge buzz before release, and the AI-generated voice of Prabhas turned into one of the film’s most talked-about highlights.
