Teja Sajja and Karthik Gattamneni’s Mirai has officially joined the $3 million club in North America. This is a major milestone for Teja Sajja making him a surprising new entrant into the premium league. He now has two back-to-back big-league hits: HanuMan with $5 million and now Mirai at $3 million.
Crossing $3 million is no small feat, especially in today’s pan-India market where only a handful of films reach such numbers.
Typically, only top stars with massive budgets break into this range. Big titles like Devara ($6 million), Pushpa ($14 million), and Salaar ($9 million) dominate at this level. For most heroes today even $2 million is a tough mark to cross. Teja Sajja has achieved it twice, thanks to the strong scripts he picked and the quality of projects he committed to.
Here are the current top-grossing Telugu films in North America (latest update):
North America Telugu Box Office – Top Grossers (2025)
1. OG (still running) – $4.8 Million
2. Mirai (still running) – $3 Million

Above are the top 10 highest-grossing Telugu movies in North America in 2025, but this does not mean that all of these films were profitable for U.S. distributors.
