Multilingual Saaho to wrap up in September

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.

Saaho, which went to the shooting floor in 2017, was expected to release in April 2018. However, the film was not complete on time and the makers had to postpone it to 2019. The latest update on the shooting detail of the movie is that it will be wrapped up by September.

“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.

Netflix approves $25 billion buyback after scrapping Warner Bros bid

Highlights

  • Netflix board approved a $25bn share repurchase on 22 April, with no expiry date.
  • The move follows Netflix abandoning its $83bn bid for Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets.
  • Netflix stock has fallen more than 10 per cent since weak Q2 guidance, closing at $93.24 on 22 April.
Netflix has approved a $25 billion share buyback programme, using capital it had kept aside for its failed bid to buy Warner Bros.
The board gave the green light on 22 April, with the decision disclosed in an SEC filing the next day.
There is no expiry date on the programme. It comes on top of an existing December 2024 buyback that still had $6.8 billion left as of 31 March.

Earlier this year, Netflix pulled out of an $83 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets after Paramount Skydance made a rival bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount then paid Netflix a $2.8 billion exit fee.

Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters had already said the company would restart share buybacks once the deal was off.

Netflix shares have had a rough ride. They hit an all-time high of $134.12 in June 2025, then fell more than 40 per cent when the Warner Bros deal was announced.
