After the thunderous success of Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017), megastar Prabhas will next be seen in Sujeeth’s action entertainer Saaho. Produced by V. Vamsi Krishna Reddy, Pramod Uppalapati, Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, the movie also stars Bollywood diva Shraddha Kapoor in a pivotal role.

“The team has shot in Abu Dhabi earlier, where lavishly-mounted action sequences with cars, trucks, bikes and even helicopters were filmed. An extensive third schedule is currently underway in Hyderabad with Prabhas and Shraddha. For the final leg, the team had been scouting for exotic and found the perfect settings in Romania,” a source close to the production team reveals to a popular tabloid.


The source goes on to add, “The shoot is expected to wrap up in a month and the film will be ready in time for New Year celebrations.”

Saaho, which is being shot in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, also stars Arun Vijay, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Evelyn Sharma, Jackie Shroff and Vennela Kishore.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas on backing 'Born Hungry': "As an actor and as a producer, my hats are different"

Highlights

  • Priyanka backs Born Hungry because Simpson’s story moved her personally.
  • She hopes the film’s JioHotstar release helps him trace his roots.
  • Her production choices are shaped by her own experience entering the industry without support.


As an actor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is constantly trying to challenge herself but as a producer, she says she wants to back stories that move her personally, something that propelled her to back the documentary "Born Hungry" on celebrity chef Sash Simpson. The documentary, currently streaming on JioHotstar in India, traces the life of Simpson -- from being abandoned as a young boy in India to his adoption in Canada and his eventual success as a renowned chef. It is produced by Priyanka's banner Purple Pebble Pictures along with Barry Avrich's Melbar Entertainment Group. The actor, known for her extensive filmography in India and in the US, said she was moved by Sash Simpson's story. "As an actor and as a producer, my hats are kind of different. And my brain splits into two. I think as an actor, I'm constantly trying to challenge myself. I want to be able to see if I can navigate different genres and if I can do action, comedy, drama... I love challenging myself and that is why my acting career has had variety. "As a producer, I'm empathetic and our ethos is a lot around wanting to give opportunities to newer filmmakers or filmmakers that want to achieve something that they haven't been able to or are kind of hitting a wall somewhere. My production side kind of comes from what personally moves me," Priyanka told PTI in an interview from Los Angeles.
