'Saaho' is a sci-fi thriller movie to be helmed by Sujeeth. The 26-year-old filmmaker who shot to fame with his first venture 'Run Raja Run' starring Sharwanand, discussed the project with Prabhas even before the release of 'Baahubali: The Beginning'. In an interview to Deccan Chronicle, Sujeeth said that after his first hit, many actors began approaching him and even Prabhas did the same but he didn't take it seriously. "It was the success party of my first feature film Run Raja Run, which had given the leading man Sharwanand a change of image. A lot of other Telugu heroes wanted a similar makeover from me. Prabhas, who was already a big star, approached me at the party. I didn’t take him seriously when he told me to write a film for him. I thought it was just social chitchat," said the young director.
Sujeeth thought Prabhas was not serious about the idea, so he began working on 'Saaho' half-heartedly and even thought of dumping the plan. Few months later, Prabhas on learning about the progress, scolded him for his sluggishness. It was after this, Sujeeth enthusiastically focused on 'Saaho'. He reveals that the he wrote post interval part of the movie while going to meet Prabhas for the narration.
"We are making the film exactly the way we had planned. There will be no changes. I narrated Saaho to Prabhas in January 2015, 6 months before the first part of Baahubali released. Even then, Prabhas was a big star. Of course now, he’s something else!” Sujeeth adds.
Teaser of 'Saaho' was released along with 'Baahubali: The Conclusion'.
