After giving a stellar performance in ‘Baahubali’, Prabhas started working for his high-octane action drama ‘Saaho’. The teaser of ‘Saaho’ was released with ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’. As per reports, Saaho is made on a budget of Rs 300 crore that is even bigger than the budget of Baahubali.
The major action sequence is shot in Dubai under the supervision of international stunt choreographer Kenny Bates. Reports suggest that a whopping of Rs. 90 crore is being spent on the action sequence alone. The scenes are directed in a realistic way by Kenny. To make things look more authentic, around 37 cars were crushed, along with 5 trucks.
Over 250 crew members – both Indian as well international – was taken on board for this schedule. Prabhas earlier said, “We are all excited to be shooting in Abu Dhabi – friends in the industry have told me that it’s an incredible filming destination boasting awe-inspiring landscapes, and it is certainly living up to that reputation. I’ve been impressed at the level of support we’ve received from the local crew, the fans, and the government, who are all going out of their way to make things as smooth as possible.”
The 60-day action sequence shoot in Abu Dhabi is over and its third schedule commenced in Hyderabad on 11 July.
