Prabhas starrer Saaho released last Friday amid very high expectations. With Baahubali toppling all box office records in North India, the anticipation for Saaho in Bollywood circles is quite unprecedented. Trade circles have predicted that Saaho will easily be one of the biggest openers in Hindi considering the massive release. Rightly the film opened to packed houses on its first day in all territories of North and registered solid revenues.

While most of the South Indian media portals rated Saaho as a flop, Bollywood circles have billed it as an epic disaster. Not stopping with their single star reviews, there have been a constant negative campaign about Saaho in leading Bollywood box office portals. A noted trade analyst from Bollywood, who gave a 5 star rating to Rajinikanth’s 2.0, has given a 1.5 rating to Saaho out of 5. He opined watching as an Saaho an unbearable experience. It is believed that a renowned Bollywood production house is behind all this negative campaign on Saaho because it is not associated with the distribution of the film in North India.

Despite this deluge of negative campaign on Saaho, the weekend figures are mind-blowing as the Hindi version is holding very well. Trade circles are predicting close to 75 Crores net for Hindi version alone by the end of Sunday which can be termed as a solid opening for a South Indian film.

Model-turned-actress Evely Sharma returns in “Saaho”, starring Prabhas. The film marks her Telugu debut.

Learning Telugu wasn’t easy for the German-Indian actress, but she says Prabhas came to her rescue when she needed help to understand her lines.

“‘Saaho’ is my debut film in Tollywood. Telugu was difficult to learn initially but I had so many people to guide me on the sets – like Prabhas and director Sujeeth, so I managed to learn my lines quickly. I have finally learned Hindi now and Telugu is a completely different language. But I’m always up for a good challenge! We had so much fun shooting together with the pan-Indian cast, in three different languages!” said Evelyn.

The actress, who is an admirer of the “Baahubali” fame superstar, said: “I am a huge fan of Prabhas and when I got to know that I will be getting to work with him I immediately said yes. Prabhas is a thorough gentleman and he is so down to earth.”

In the movie, Evelyn’s character is called Jennifer. “It’s a small but significant role where I will be seen in an action avatar for the first time,” said the actress, adding: “I couldn’t be happier that I am a part of the biggest action thriller of 2019.”

“Saaho” is helmed by Sujeeth and the film has released in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil in theatres across the country today. The action-thriller also features Shraddha Kapoor, Mandira Bedi and Neil Nitin Mukesh.

Young Rebelstar Prabhas is touring across the country and is busy promoting his next film Saaho. His promotional tour turned out to be a huge surprise for other star actors as Prabhas is spending sleepless nights and is busy meeting his fans across various states. Along with media events, Prabhas is also busy participating in interviews with various television channels in all the languages.

Prabhas’ face is a clear example that the actor is restless and is working without breaks promoting Saaho. The actor will be touring across Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow), Punjab (Chandigarh) and Rajasthan (Jaipur) today along with the female lead Shraddha Kapoor. Prabhas will fly to Dubai this night and will be promoting Saaho over there for the next couple of days. Prabhas is also in plans to promote Saaho in London right before the film’s release. With Saaho, Prabhas set new benchmarks for promoting movies.

Saaho directed by Sujeeth is hitting the screens on August 30th. UV Creations are the producers.

In each and every interview Prabhas is facing at Saaho promotions these days, the question of Anushka is the most common one. They ask about his marriage, the rumoured affair with Anushka and the name of that NRI girl his marriage is fixed with, but the hunk hero never denies to answer them.

“I don’t get irritated with those questions. You guys ask me about marriage because my fans want to know about it. As I’m their dearest actor, they have the right to know about my personal life, which is what I feel. There is nothing wrong if you ask me about it” said Prabhas, shattering the popular notion that ‘stars should not be asked Qs about personal life’.

The likes of Shruti Haasan once gave black and blue to media personnel for quizzing about her love life. Ileana walked out of an interview when asked about Andrew Kneebone, and Shriya wore red face as journos prodded about her private marriage. But Prabhas is a pole apart, thereby justifying why he is called darling.

But Prabhas has one thing to say. “Right now I’m confused as to what I should say when they ask me about marriage. Maybe I should tie the knot soon as they are deeply desiring to see me married” he articulated.

After the humongous success of Baahubali, Prabhas became a pan-India actor and audience across the country are eagerly waiting for his next films. His upcoming big budget entertainer Saaho, which is set for grand release on August 30th in multiple languages, is carrying high expectations in moviegoers and trade circles. Apart from Telugu states, Saaho has been the cynosure of audience in neighboring South states and all over North.

With a lot of money riding on this action saga, the makers are going all-out to build up the hype in audience and garner huge openings all over the country. Prabhas, in particular, is single handedly leading the aggressive promotional campaign from the past couple of weeks. The Baahubali actor is effortlessly hopping different cities to promote the film bigtime. He was in Mumbai last week to interact with Bollywood media and appeared in several interviews and TV shows. He then travelled to South states Kerala and Tamil Nadu to woo fans there.

Despite the hectic schedule, Prabhas is showing no signs of restraint and he is set to wind up the campaign with the last leg of promotions in Hyderabad. The nonstop promotions from team Saaho has turned out to be highly advantageous as the pre sales in all territories are mind-blowing. Trade analysts are predicting a record-breaking start for this much anticipated film of the season.
