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.
