Actor Teja Sajja feels his life has become intrinsically linked with Lord Hanuman following the breakout box-office success of his 2024 film ‘HanuMan.’ The film follows a man who gains powers akin to those of the Hindu deity.
On Hanuman Jayanti, Sajja expresses his gratitude for the numerous invitations he has received for events celebrating the occasion.
“I have been invited to many places in Hyderabad for huge celebrations. I might visit one of them,” he tells us.
While working on the film, Sajja says he could sense the deity’s blessings.
“Over the two-year journey, our work was only 30-40%. The rest was all Lord Hanuman’s doing. Everything we did turned out to be the best for our project — even the biggest mistakes turned out in our favor,” shares the 29-year-old.
Growing up, Sajja’s devotion toward Hanuman wasn’t as strong as it is today. “It wasn’t like I would do pooja or go to mandir. I was not a staunch believer, I wouldn’t make such plans. But after the film, my connection with Lord Hanuman strengthened.”
What’s one quality that he wishes to imbibe from Hanuman? “Humility — when you know you are the most powerful person, but act like you are not. I wish to become as humble as Lord Hanuman,” the actor concludes.
