The film haven’t lived up to the expectations of critics, neither it got some classic moments that will live forever in time, but still, the craze of Prabhas is so high that it touched 400 crore mark easily at the box office. Looking at how Saaho worked, many Telugu stars are now trying to board Mumbai express.

Keeping many of his prior commitments aside, right now Mahesh Babu is considering Prashant Neel’s pan-Indian script, which could become a solid debut for him in Bollywood. Mahesh is the one who has earlier rejected the idea of going to Bollywood, but now, he’s desperate to do a bilingual immediately.

Though he is not fond of doing Bollywood films until he cemented his position in the Telugu film industry, young sensation Vijay Devarakonda has now changed his stand. He’s trying to get a foothold in Mumbai and making frequent visits to the city of dreams, hoping to find the right subject.

Then we have Allu Arjun who has immense craze in Bollywood through his dubbed movies on YouTube. Realising that, he has recently turned up at Nikhil Advani’s various bashes and is eyeing to sizzle in a Hindi film soon. Also, he’s said to have asked Venu Sriram, the director of Icon movie, to make the film a pan-Indian movie.

All these happenings could surely credited to the immediate impact Prabhas created with Saaho.

A film is as good as its promotions in this digital era, as social media presence is the new talk-of-mouth. Understanding that, one of the biggest Telugu film ‘Saaho’ is well promoted by Prabhas all alone, taking some occasional support from Shraddha Das and others.

What startles everyone at the moment is how Saaho makers fumbled with post-release promotions as the Prabhas is seen nowhere in the media, for the past five days. Had the Baahubali star taken the mantle of handling critics, talking about footfalls in theatres and trying to create a sort of alternate-talk for the film after the release, the buzz would have been better.

Some reports indicate that Prabhas went on a much needed detox tour after a marathon promotion blitzkrieg that lasted for a month. But adding one more week to the blitz would have helped Saaho better, as the film collected only 164 crores share in 4 days run, and collect 110 crores more to reach a breakeven stage.

At the same time, other than Prabhas, no other star from Saaho including director Sujeeth or producers are promoting the film in any manner other than releasing some posters that feature highlighted ‘collection’ figures. Time to gather all the energy and push the film for a couple of weeks such that it makes the most before other biggies hit the marquee.

Jerome Salle, the director of French movie Largo winch, made comments on Sahoo movie and his comments becoming viral in social media.

Largo winch movie released in 2008 was not received well by the audience when it was released. However, during the time of Agnathavasi movie release, he suddenly became popular in India after the allegations that Trivikram’s movie was coped from Largo Winch. The director of Jerome Salle tweeted on Agnathavasi movie and was about to proceed legally but the settlement behind screens averted the legal issues for Agnathavasi team.

Now Sahoo movie also is on same lines and someone took it to his notice. He tweeted on the release day of Sahoo that he seems to have a promising career in India. Today he again tweeted on this saying, “It seems this second “freemake” of Largo Winch is as bad as the first one. So please Telugu directors, if you steal my work, at least do it properly?. And as my “Indian career” tweet was of course ironic, I’m sorry but I’m not gonna be able to help. ” His tweets became viral in social media as he told, Sahoo makers could not even copy his work properly. This kind of plagiarism allegations are severely affecting the reputation of Telugu cinema. Makers have to be careful at least while making this kind of big budget extravaganza movies.

We will have to wait and see if Sahoo makers respond on Jerome Salle comments.

And as my "Indian career" tweet was of course ironic, I'm sorry but I'm not gonna be able to help. https://t.co/DWpQJ8Vyi0
