Prabhas is all praises for his Saaho co-star Shraddha Kapoor

Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho is undoubtedly one of the most awaited films of the year. The trailer and the songs of the film have created a good pre-release buzz. Recently, a pre-release event of the film was organised in Hyderabad which was attended by Prabhas, Shraddha, director of the film Sujeeth and others.

At the event, Prabhas was all praises for Shraddha. He stated, “Shraddha gave her two years to the film. Giving that much time is not a joke. Not even one day we had a production problem. She was so supportive and dedicated towards Saaho. We are lucky to have her. She is a super performer. She is fabulous in action sequences.”


Saaho is a multi-lingual film and while it marks Prabhas’ Hindi debut, Shraddha too for the first time will be making her debut in Tollywood. While talking about it, the actress said, “This is my first Telugu film and I received a very warm welcome. To act with your favourite Prabhas was absolutely amazing. I hope you all like the film.”

Saaho is directed by Sujeeth who is quite young. Prabhas reveals how people were worried if he will be able to carry the film. The actor said, “When we started shooting, the entire team was worried how Sujeeth will carry such a big film on his shoulders. However, he managed everyone. I think he will become one of the best directors of our industry. It is not easy to handle such a film. I would not be surprised if he goes international.”

Saaho was slated to release on 15th August 2019. But the film was postponed and now, it is slated to release on 30th August 2019. The expectations from the film are quite high as Prabhas will be seen on the big screen after a gap of two years and that too after the super success of Baahubali franchise.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
