Saaho to raise the bar on action flicks

The makers of the upcoming multilingual action drama ‘Saaho’ on Tuesday teased audiences with a special making video on the occasion of the birthday of Prabhas. The video gives a glimpse of the lavish budget the makers have spent on action, which will be one of the highlights of the film.

The one and a half minute video shows the prep that has gone into choreographing the action sequences under the supervision of international stuntman Kenny Bates in Abu Dhabi where the team extensively shot for 30 days with over 400 crew members. From bike chases to car and truck crashes, it seems that the team has pushed the envelope with respect to action. We also get a quick glimpse of Shraddha Kapoor and Neil Nitin Mukesh in the video, which has been released as a birthday treat for Prabhas' fans.

Towards the end of the video, we see Prabhas walking out of a building in slow motion in an uber stylish avatar. Cut to the next shot, we see him zooming on a motorbike. In his chat last year, director Sujeeth revealed that a major chunk of the film's budget will be spent on action. "Depending on the scale on which it is being made, a major budget will be spent on some extravagant action scenes. Although it will be a commercial outing, we are attempting something new and I would like to keep that as a surprise element," Sujeeth had said. A UV Creations production, ‘Saaho’ is produced by Vamsi, Pramod and Vikram on a whopping budget of Rs 150 crore.
