There was speculation about the release date of the movie as the makers didn’t want a box-office clash with Chiranjeevi’s Sye Raa, which is also rumoured to release around the same date. However, the makers of Saaho have decided to go ahead with the initially announced release date and have said that the movie will be releasing on the Independence Day. The movie was earlier touted to be a Sankranthi release this year.
Saaho, directed by Sujeeth, is bankrolled by V Vamshi Krishna Reddy and Pramod Uppalapati under the banner UV Creations on a budget of Rs 300 crore. The film’s star cast also includes Neil Nitin Mukesh, Lal, Arun Vijay, Mandira Bedi, Jackie Shroff, Vennela Kishore, Mahesh Manjrekar and Chunkey Pandey in supporting roles. While Prabhas plays the male lead in this action entertainer, sharing the screen space with him as his heroine is Shraddha Kapoor.
The technical crew of this film includes Shankar – Ehsaan – Loy for composing music with R Madhi doing the cinematography and A Sreekar Prasad editing it. Saaho is a trilingual that will be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
Saaho is undoubtedly one of the most awaited films this year as it happens to be Prabhas's first film after the astounding success of the Baahubali franchise. With the star enjoying a big fan following across India, Saaho is sure to get a big opening.
