Prabhas' multilingual Saaho to be presented by Bhushan Kumar

Bhushan Kumar, head honcho of T-Series, has signed a deal with leading South Indian production house, UV Creations, to present megastar Prabhas' forthcoming action entertainer Saaho to the Hindi audience.

Speaking about the collaboration, Bhushan Kumar says, "The universality of Saaho is what appealed to me as a filmmaker. While Prabhas is a pan India star, the content and its treatment will make for a film having a global appeal. It is an exciting collaboration and we are looking forward to presenting the film to our Hindi audience."


The humongous success of the Baahubali film series in North India has made Prabhas an overnight star in the territory. His upcoming film Saaho is expected to open big in the Northern Hindi markets and the actor wants to give an unforgettable visual experience to his audience.

"Ever since its inception, Saaho has been a larger-than-life story. We want to present our audience with a memorable visual experience, said Prabhas.

Besides Prabhas, Saaho also stars Bollywood actors Shraddha Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Jackie Shroff, Mandira Bedi, Mahesh Manjrekar and Chunky Pandey in pivotal roles. Written and directed by Sujeeth, the movie may hit screens later this year.

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."
