Here's some exciting news for fans of Prabhas and Anushka Shetty, who loved their pairing in Baahubali 2. The stars will reportedly reunite in Prabhas' next, Saaho.
According to a Bollywood Life report, the makers of Saaho are in talks with Anushka to play the lead actress in the film. While nothing has been confirmed yet, if Anushka signs on the dotted lines, it will be a visual treat for fans of the hit pair – Amarendra Baahubali and Devasena, played by Prabhas and Anushka, respectively – to see them romance onscreen once again.
Disha Patani's rude behaviour cost her a chance to star opposite Baahubali 2 actor Prabhas in Saaho
It should be noted that the Baahubali series is not the first film of Prabhas and Anushka. They had teamed up for hit Telegu films in the past, such as Mirchi (2013) and Billa (2009).
Earlier, the makers of Saaho wanted to cast a Bollywood actress to lure a pan-India audience. Several actresses, including Katrina Kaif, Shraddha Kapoor and Disha Patani, were approached but the deals didn't materialise. Disha and Shraddha apparently quoted a huge fee, which forced the makers to drop their names.
Saaho, directed by Sujeeth, is an action film said to be planned with a budget of Rs 150 crore. The shooting will commence soon after Prabhas returns from his vacation in the US.
