If this turns to be true, then 'Saaho' will be Katrina's comeback in South films. Earlier she has acted in a 2006 Malayalam movie,  Balram vs. Tharadas and then she went on to do Telugu films, Malliswari and Allari Pidugu. 'Saaho' is being directed by young filmmaker Sujeeth, who narrated the story to Prabhas much before the release of first part of 'Baahubali' franchise. It is a sci-fi thriller movie with a strong technical crew. Cashing in on Prabhas' pan-India popularity, 'Saaho' will be released in three languages, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Katrina who is currently shooting for 'Tiger Zinda Hai' with ex Salman Khan, is also waiting for her next release 'Jagga Jassos'. Formal announcement would be made once Prabhas returns from his much-needed holiday in US.
