Prabhas vs 100 international fighters in Saaho

Saaho starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles is one of the most awaited films of the year. The teaser of the film and the song Psycho Saiyan has generated a lot of curiosity among the moviegoers to watch the film.

Now according to a report in a tabloid, in the climax of the film, Prabhas will be seen fighting with 100 international fighters and the action sequence is choreographed by action director Peng Zhang who has worked in Hollywood biggies like The Last Samurai, Rush Hour 3 and others.


A source told the tabloid, “A set resembling a ruined place was erected on a 10-acre land and special black soil was strewn over it to give it an authentic desert look. A team of 100 fighters from across the globe was hired for a larger-than-life action sequence involving Prabhas and the baddies. It cost Rs 70 crore and was choreographed by the internationally-acclaimed action director Peng Zhang of Hollywood biggies like The Last Samurai, Hellyboy II: The Golden Army and Rush Hour 3."

A few weeks ago, the team of the film was in Austria to shoot a romantic track between Prabhas and Shraddha. In the same schedule, they shot for the special number with Jacqueline Fernandez.

Saaho is slated to release on 15th August 2019, however, there are reports that the film might get postponed. It is said that there are two reasons behind the delay. The makers are working on the VFX and it might take more time. Also, there are multiple films releasing on 15th August. Akshay Kumar starrer Mission Mangal and John Abraham starrer Batla House are slated to release on the same day. Also, there are Telugu movies like Ranarangam and Evaru slated to release on 15th August, so it would have been a lot of competition for Saaho.

Reportedly, the makers are planning to shift the release date to 30th August 2019. However, there's no official confirmation on it.

Directed by Sujeeth, Saaho also stars Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Chunky Panday, and Mandira Bedi.

Jaivant Patel brings queer south Asian existence to the stage with 'ASTITVA'

Highlights:

  • Pushes back against old stereotypes, choosing to focus on joy and celebration instead of struggle.
  • It insists the community deserves stages for celebration, not just for sharing pain.
  • It walks through four raw, human chapters: Seeking, Desire, Acceptance, and Love.
  • Its core mission is putting brown, queer male bodies on stage in a way that is still rarely seen.

In an exclusive chat with Eastern Eye, choreographer Jaivant Patel spoke about ASTITVA, a new dance work that reimagines what it means to be queer and south Asian through movement, rhythm, and emotion.

ASTITVA translates to “existence,” an apt title for a piece born from the need to simply be seen and heard. It reflects Patel’s journey and the lived realities of queer south Asian people today.
